The TMV RNA, indicated in red, is about 6400 nucleotides in length. During assembly of the TMV particle, the interaction between the CP subunits and the RNA results in a rigid helical rod of ca. 300 nm x 18 nm. (A) Ten turns are illustrated in a side view of a small portion of a TMV particle (B). The maximum diameter of the subunit particle is 9 nm, and the mean diameter is 7.5 nm.
