Structure of the envelope protein domain III of Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus

We have solved the NMR solution structure of domain III from the Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus envelope protein and report the first sequencing of the Guriev strain of this virus. Important structural differences between tick-borne flaviviruses, such as OHFV and TBE, and mosquito-borne flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus, are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
