Some viruses have a capsid with proteins that act as "docking stations" so that they can attach to host cells. Others without capsids also have a different type of protein that does the same thing.

what do capsids give their viruses
capsids prevent viral infections apex they stop viral infections from reproducing
Capsids protect the viral nucleic acid they surround.

Capsids help viruses enter cells, which is where the virus would reproduce. If viruses have a harder time getting into cells, they have a harder time reproducing.

Yes, a drug that damages capsids could help treat a viral infection because if the capsid of a virus is damaged, the virus is unable to replicate. Capsids provide protection for viruses.
All viruses naturally have capsids that surround the nucleic acid in the central core. When they are just in this form and don't contain an envelope, they are known as naked viruses. Members of 13 of the 20 families of animal viruses possess an additional covering external to the capsid called an envelope. This envelope is a modified piece of the host's cell membrane.

Helical capsids are usually formed from one protein that interlocks to form a helix-like structure around the viral genome. They are usually more common among viruses that infect plants, though influenza, measles, mumps and rabies viruses all have helical capsids. They are 120 to 270 nm in diameter.
Neither. Viruses do not have cells but are surrounded by protein capsids containing the viral DNA or RNA. Some viruses have glycoprotein coats that they take from the membranes of cells they preform lysis on.
