Subnanometer resolution AFM images reveal individual surface spikes formed by 4-helix bundles comprised of dimers of alpha-helical coiled coils of the core proteins on Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid (a) in solution. These distinctive features were observable in a smaller measure at Au-NP filled virus-like particles (VLPs) surfaces (b) and were virtually absent from RNA-filled VLP surfaces (c). Bottom images show elasticity mapping on single particles of HBV capsid, Au-NP filled VLP and RNA-filled VLP.

In situ AFM images show surface spike arrangement (dimples) of Sindbis virus (SINV) (a), and SINV conjugated with fluorescent proteins: Apple (b) and Venus (c).
Fusion of mApple and Venus fluorescent proteins to the Sindbis virus E2 protein leads to different cell-binding properties
