Virus
What is the protein coat that surrounds a virus called?
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.

Do virus have protein coat?
Yes. Viruses contain a protein coat called a capsid. Inside this capsid will be DNA or RNA but never both. Viruses that contain RNA are called retroviruses. They also contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase that allows them to convert RNA into double-stranded DNA once it infects a cell.
