TL;DR
The coat of tomato bushy stunt virus is built from protein subunits having rigid domains connected by a flexible hinge that has a binding site for RNA on its inner surface.
Abstract
The coat of tomato bushy stunt virus is built from protein subunits having rigid domains connected by a flexible hinge. Two states of the hinge are present in the T=3 icosahedral structure. Each subunit has a binding site for RNA on its inner surface.
