Abstract

Advancements in the field of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have greatly contributed to our current understanding of virus structures and life cycles. In this review, we discuss the application of single particle cryo-electron microscopy (EM) for the structure elucidation of small enveloped icosahedral viruses, namely, alpha- and flaviviruses. We focus on technical advances in cryo-EM data collection, image processing, three-dimensional reconstruction, and refinement strategies for obtaining high-resolution structures of these viruses. Each of these developments enabled new insights into the alpha- and flavivirus architecture, leading to a better understanding of their biology, pathogenesis, immune response, immunogen design, and therapeutic development. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
