A bacteriophage primarily consists of two main structures: the protein coat, or capsid, which protects its genetic material, and the nucleic acid core, which contains the viral genome (either DNA or RNA). The capsid can have various shapes, including icosahedral or helical forms. Additionally, many bacteriophages have a tail structure that aids in the attachment and injection of their genetic material into host bacterial cells.
