Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Studies aimed at the structure analysis of a giant virus, PBCV-1 by the combination of X-ray crystallography and coherent X-ray diffraction imaging was carried out. The single crystals of PBCV1 have not been obtained yet, but the technical improvements were proceeded using the other virus crystals as a model. The high-resolution diffraction patterns were successfully observed from viral fragile crystals. In the experiment of coherent X-ray diffraction imaging, so many diffraction patterns from PBCV-1 were collected and processed for 2D imaging. The data selection of diffraction data from huge data set is carrying out aimed to the 3D reconstruction of PBCV-1.
