Detailed explanation-1: -A capsid is the protein shell of a virus, enclosing its genetic material. It consists of several oligomeric (repeating) structural subunits made of protein called protomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses or virions have a protein coat called capsid. It is made up of subunits called capsomeres. It protects the nucleic acid of the virus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Basic virus architecture. Viral capsid proteins protect the fragile genome, composed of nucleic acid, from the harsh environment. The capsid and nucleic acid together are known as the nucleocapsid.
Detailed explanation-4: -INTRODUCTION. The large majority of bacterial viruses (phages or bacteriophages) have a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome and are comprised of an icosahedral capsid, or head, which protects the viral genome, and of a tail structure, a device that delivers the genome to the host cell.
