Icosahedral

What kind of proteins are the capsid shells made of? Will a collection of capsid proteins in soln' generally form an icosahedral (or other geometric shape, depending on protein..) shape; Will they from encapsulating shapes on their own? can capsid shells be manufactured?

... acute infections, which are infections that develop in a given amount of time. The genomic structure and organization of picornavirues are small icosahedral with 23 capsomeres and a single messenger genome (6-10 genes). Capsid promoters consist of four polypeptides known as Viral Proteins (VP1, ...

... types of virus structure, now what structure that TMV and bacteriophage bears?? Am i late for the class? i hope not TMV=Spherical Bacteriophage=Icosahedral Not so sure about the phage...could be because i always hate microbiology so very much! :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately...you guess it wrong boss...I don't really like taxonomy.. Ok, the answer is: there are 3 types which are symetry icosahedral, sphrical and complex structure...:lol:

... mutation rate means more variations. Three proteins and a host-derived lipid bilayer structurally construct the West Nile virus. The virus has an icosahedral structure with a diameter 500 angstroms wide. The West Nile virus resembles the dengue fever virus in structure, but their surface proteins ...
