Yes, viruses contain proteins. Each virus is composed of a core of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses may also have an outer lipid envelope that contains additional proteins which help the virus attach to and enter host cells. These proteins play crucial roles in the virus's structure and function, including infection and replication.
If a virus has one, yes, and it's often referred to as a "protein coat."
A protein coat, or capsid, is a structural component of viruses that encases and protects their genetic material. While it does not contain viruses itself, it is a crucial part of the virus structure. The protein coat helps in the attachment and entry of the virus into host cells. Therefore, while the protein coat is associated with viruses, it does not contain them in isolation.
virions i.e. a virus protein
They form the capsid that encloses the genetic material and retroviruses contain the protein enzyme reverse transcriptase. Also the proteins, especial glycoproteins, are the key that enters the lock of a cells protein markers.
Viruses are just protein shells that in some cases contain RNA and in others it's DNA.
Meat does contain protein
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.
Only through the "hijacking" of the host cell DNA can the virus make protein.
No they do not have. Virus do not contain any.
