A symmetry mismatch unraveled: How phage HK97 scaffold flexibly accommodates a 12-fold pore at a 5-fold viral capsid vertex

Tailed bacteriophages and herpesviruses use a transient scaffold to assemble icosahedral capsids with hexameric capsomers on the faces and pentameric capsomers at all but one vertex where a 12-fold portal is thought to nucleate the assembly. How does the scaffold orchestrate this step? We have deter...
