What do you call the protein shell of a virus?

A capsid is the protein shell of a virus. It consists of several oligomeric 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. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus.

What is the helical virus?

The helical virus is a type of virus that has a capsid structure in the shape of a helix. This helical structure is formed by protein subunits arranged in a spiral around the viral genetic material. Examples of helical viruses include tobacco mosaic virus and influenza virus.


Can a smaller virus affect a bigger virus?

No because a virus is simply genetic material coated in a protein shell. Internally, viruses do not have the components, which are commonly found in cells, necessary to propagate "offspring."


What is a helical virus?

A helical virus has a spiraling structure similar to a spiral staircase. The virus genome is arranged in the middle of the spiral staircase. The Tobacco mosaic virus is a helical virus.


What substance is the coating of a virus made of?

The coating of a virus is made of protein molecules. These proteins can vary in composition and structure, helping the virus to attach to host cells and invade them.
