2.Viruses: what they are composed of and their life cycle 3.The shapes of viruses and how they assemble 4.Viral infections and immunity Key Concept:!Proteins have specific shapes.!Repeating units of the same protein (or a set of proteins) can create a closed symmetric shape. Viruses are ...
2.1. The viruses chosen represent viruses that are among the largest known and the smallest known, and are all shown to the same scale for comparison. For each virus, the top micrograph is of a virus that has been negatively stained, the middle micrograph is of a section of infected cells...
The infectious phage particle, like the particles of other viruses, is called a 'virion'. Figure 1.1 shows in outline the virions of a range of phages of E. coli ('coliphages'), illustrating the diversity in size and shape of the virions of phages of a single bacterial species. On ...

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) constitute a major threat to human health. The IAV genome consists of eight single-stranded viral RNA segments contained in separate viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complexes that are packaged together into a single virus particle. The structure of viral RNA is believed ...
(Supplementary Fig.6a, b). Genome cyclization was also described in other viruses, including flaviviruses25, and involved in replicase recruitment at least in Dengue virus and Zika virus9. Considering dynamics of genome cyclization upon packaging and releasing, we speculate that genome cyclization is...
"Our lab experiments show that if we replace a few of the pivotal stitches in the seam by mutation, the resulting viruses are less infectious or even non-infectious," Dr. Gronenborn said. "The capsid, and therefore the virus, can no longer function properly." ...
Ebola viruses (EBOVs) cause periodic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic disease1. The recent deadly outbreak in West Africa (2013–2016) was the largest in history, with 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths2. EBOV has a striking, filamentous structure: the helical nucleocapsid acquires an envelope by...
