Capsid Structures and Their Role in Viral Infection
2024年10月23日 · Complex capsids exhibit a structural sophistication that sets them apart from other viral capsid forms. These capsids often feature intricate designs and multiple components, which allow them to perform specialized functions during the viral life cycle.
Viral capsids: Mechanical characteristics, genome packaging and ...
Viral capsids are nanometre-sized containers that possess complex mechanical properties and whose main function is to encapsidate the viral genome in one host, to transport it and to subsequently release it inside another host cell. One of the remarkable properties is the self-assembly of capsids in a regular and well-defined structure.

2013年1月1日 · Structurally complex viruses present a larger variety of components in their capsids than simple viruses. They may contain accessory proteins with specific architectural or functional roles; or incorporate non-proteic elements such as lipids.
Geometric architecture of viruses - PMC - PubMed Central (PMC)
Viruses present remarkable differences in geometric shapes, sizes, molecular compositions and organizations. A detailed structural knowledge of a virion is essential for understanding the mechanisms of capsid assembly/disassembly, antigenicity, cell-receptor interaction, and designing therapeutic strategies.
Assembly, stability and dynamics of virus capsids - ScienceDirect
2013年3月1日 · Self-assembly of a viral capsid is a complex oligomerization process that proceeds along a pathway regulated by ordered interactions between the participating protein subunits, and that involves a series of (usually transient) assembly intermediates.
Virus Capsid - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Complex: A complex capsid is a combination of helical and icosahedral shapes. Viruses with complex capsid may have a head-tail morphology (an icosahedral-shaped head with a helically shaped tail), a distinctive feature of viruses infecting bacteria called bacteriophages.
