The Structure of Viruses 2012-07-27 .txt text/plain 10614 633 57 Also shown for each family is the presence or absence of an envelope in the virion, the triangulation number (defined later) if the virus is icosahedral, the morphology of the nucleocapsid or core, and figure numbers where the structures of members of a family are illustrated. Structural studies of viruses have shown that the capsid proteins that form the virions of many plant and animal icosahedral viruses have a common fold. The largest particle is the nucleocapsid of herpes simplex virus, which is 1250 Å in diameter and has T=16 symmetry (the virion is enveloped but only the nucleocapsid is regular FIGURE 2.5 Gallery of three-dimensional reconstructions of icosahedral viruses from cryoelectron micrographs. For most RNA viruses, nucleocapsids can be recognized as distinct structures within the infected cell and can be isolated from virions by treatment with detergents that dissolve the envelope. ./cache/cord-023726-2fduzqyb.txt ./txt/cord-023726-2fduzqyb.txt
