predictions made using the PSIPRED secondary structural prediction
software revealed that the VP1 secondary structures for 809, Sh5, 18-3,
and 336 had a helix structure at the first unique residue, but this helix
structure was absent for 1152 (Fig. 5). This helix structure may have in

Schematic representations of the complete predicted secondary
structure of NoV (GII/3) 1152, 18-3, 336, 809, and Sh5 VP1. The level
of confidence of prediction (Conf:) is shown on the first line, where a tall box
represents a high confidence of prediction and a low box represents a low
confidence of prediction. The predicted secondary structure (Pred:) is shown
on the second line, where helix

The third line also shows the predicted secondary structure (Pred:), where

residues for 1152 sequence when compared to the other four GII/3
sequences are indicated with an arrow.
