envelop
the protection of a cell
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.
Yes, H5N1 is an influenza virus, which means it has a protein coat called a capsid surrounding its genetic material. The capsid helps protect the virus and enables it to infect host cells.
A virus's DNA and RNA are surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. This capsid provides protection to the virus's genetic material and helps it to infect host cells. Some viruses also have an additional lipid envelope surrounding the capsid.
Outer layer of a virus is called a capsid. It is the shell of protein which protects the nucleic acid, the brain of a virus. Capsid is composed of individual morphological units called capsomers.
The capsid of a virus is surrounded by an envelope, which is derived from the host cell membrane during the viral replication process. This envelope contains viral glycoproteins that help the virus attach to and enter into host cells.
Capsomeres are protein subunits that make up the capsid, which is the protein coat surrounding a virus. They help in the assembly of the capsid structure and protect the genetic material of the virus. Capsomeres also aid in the attachment of the virus to host cells during infection.
DNA or RNA + Structural Proteins + Enzymes and nucleic acid binding proteins = Nucleocapsid (may be the same as a virion or surrounded by an envelope) If there is only a Nucleocapsid, then it is considered a Naked Capsid Virus If there is a Nucleocapsid with the addition of Glycoproteins and a Membrane, then the virus is considered enveloped.
The capsid. Made of protein, and sometimes various types of proteins.
I take it that you meant to ask what surrounds the genome of the virus. The genome of the virus (be it DNA or RNA) is enclosed within the capsid shell. The capsid shell is made by the oligomerisation of capsid proteins in a specific organised manner. The genome together with the capsid is termed as nucleocapsid. Sometimes the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a phospholipid membrane (of host origin) called the envelope. The viruses which have an envelope are called envelope viruses eg., Chikunguyna virus, Rabies virus, HIV and the viruses without an envelope are called naked viruses eg., Poliovirus, Rotavirus
The nucleic acid of a virus is stored in its viral capsid or envelope. The capsid or envelope protects the genetic material of the virus and helps it enter host cells to replicate.
