Icosahedral

... of the events that occur during the invasion of a host cell by a DNA virus. My answer: There are four general morphologies identified in viruses. Icosahedral Virions - an icosahedral protein shell (capsid) surrounds nucleic acid and proteins (the core). The capsid and core form a nucleocapsid. ...

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:
