06/03-- This image shows the immature dengue particle. Notable are the 60 protein "spikes" which jut from the surface, making the immature particle far less smooth than the mature form. One spike is circled for reference. Knowledge of how the immature particle develops into the mature, infectious dengue virus could be important to developing antiviral medicines.
