Detailed explanation-1: -In fact, the protein that winds around the nucleic acid is often called the nucleocapsid protein. Once in the cell, the helical nucleocapsid uncoils and the nucleic acid becomes accessible. Helical capsid structure. (A) Viral capsid proteins wind around the nucleic acid, forming a helical nucleocapsid.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. The observable 3-dimensional morphological subunits, which may or may not correspond to individual proteins, are called capsomeres.
Detailed explanation-3: -A protein coat that covers the nucleoprotein core or nucleic acid of a virion.
