Select a category above to classify viruses according to shared characteristics. Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology. The envelope contains viral proteins embedded in it.

It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins. After infecting a host cell, the dengue virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to ...

1, lower right). Concurrent experiments by the group of C. Knobler and W. Gelbart (UCLA), in which capsid proteins assemble around RNA molecules with lengths in excess of the viral genome length, ...

Berger and coworkers [8] showed that well-formed capsids can result if assembly follows "local rules", in which only subunits with the conformation dictated by adjacent subunits can bind to and ...

The virus is composed of three layers—a capsid that contains the viral DNA, a protein layer called the tegument and an outer envelope that is studded with viral glycoproteins (proteins with a ...

But Tomas envisioned a different solution - one that disrupted the viral capsid, the cone-shaped protein structure that holds the genes essential for viral reproduction. Most scientists thought ...

Some of these new modalities include blocking HBV gene expression with RNA therapeutics, immune-activators, and molecules targeting the viral capsid, which results in inhibition of multiple steps ...

It's very contagious and it has a "shell" (capsid) surrounding the virus structure. It is the most common cause of ...
