Viruses
Viruses are simply genetic information surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid that
is encoded by the nucleic acid; these two forms a nucleocapsid that can be icosahedral, helical or
complex symmetry in shape. The capsid is composed of repeating subunits called capsomers.
The genetic information is in the form of either RNA or DNA; both can never exist in the same
virus. The information can either be single-stranded or double-stranded. Thus we have singlestranded RNA viruses, single-stranded DNA viruses, double-stranded RNA viruses and doublestranded DNA viruses. The capsid may be the outer layer in some viruses. However some may
also have a lipid bilayer membrane (or envel...
