Decomposition into basic mechanical units of the cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) capsid.
The yellow boundaries separate the capsid's mechanical units, which were identified with the algorithm of Polles et al. The partitioning involves 32 units, which are further grouped in two distinct types: pentamers (blue) and hexamers (red).
