| Abstract |
The structure and organization of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of an arenavirus, Pichinde virus, was investigated. The basic configuration of the RNP was found to be a linear array of globular subunits or nucleosomes, 4 to 5 nm in diameter, that represent individual molecules of the major N polypeptide. This filament appears to fold progressively through a number of intermediate helical structures, 12 to 15 nm in diameter, that reveal an increasing number of nucleosomes associated with each turn of the helix. They range from a fragile configuration of two or three nucleosomes per turn to a more stable fibre in which the nucleosomes cannot be resolved. The strands were shown to form closed circles and it appeared that the twisting of these circular forms resulted in the formation of 20 nm-thick fibres which were seen in isolated viral core structures. The association of these RNP structures with other viral components is discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 December 2018.
All research outputs
#7,453,126
of 22,785,242 outputs
Outputs from Journal of General Virology
#2,351
of 6,251 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,148
of 8,163 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of General Virology
#8
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,785,242 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,251 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 8,163 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
