The familiar and the unexpected in structures of icosahedral viruses.

Viruses were the first large macromolecular assemblages to be visualized at high resolution. New virus structures continue to challenge our understanding of specificity in protein-protein "recognition". The evolution of virus structures has been even more opportunistic than previously imagined.
