Elida,

Try to contact with Janet Thorton at the Birbeck College, University 
College of London. Her group have set up a database grouping the folds of 
3D structures of proteins. You can find there a 7% of identity between 
two proteins (viral and plant) which share the very same structure.

I am not sure about this address: cath at biochem.ucl.ac.uk, but it could be 
the right one.

Good luck

Jose
