Micheal Rossman was chastised at CSH for pushing the octahedral hypothesis but now we have viruses that utilize this geometry in some aspect of their structure.
Its also possible that retroviruses utilize non-geodesic facets as a sort of off path mechanism to close -investigations ongoing

Eulers formula may be ideal but isn't the only way to make a closed shells. My thesis goes into more depth. Also thsi geodesic idealism was originally realized with octahedrals in mind and several viruses have been shown to use octahedral geometry

Scheme?
Scam?

Why not upload both curves or include your half masks so EMDB can show their FSC calculations?

If you are interesting in developing new algorithms for #cryoEM as a #PhD student or as a #postdoc, then do email or DM me. We have exciting opportunities coming up.

We have to do whatever we can to not just build a scientific community but engage the one around us. I was once a homeless high school student. If I didn't frow up in a college town, I probably wouldn't have made it very far. Those small community college professors get out into the community
