The diffraction patterns of the Pf 1 and Xf strains of filamentous bacterial viruses (class II) can be interpreted in terms of a simple helix of protein subunits with 15Åpitch, having 22 units in five turns. The protein subunits are each elongated in an axial direction, and also slope radially, so as to overlap each other, giving an arrangement of subunits reminiscent of scales on a fish. The protein helix forms a tube with inner diameter about 20Åand outer diameter about 60Å. The single-stranded circular DNA is contained within this tube, with two DNA strands running the length of the tube.The diffraction patterns of fd, If 1 and IKe (class I) can be interpreted in terms of a perturbed version of the class II simple helix.
