What are virions?
Virions are physical particles found in the extracellular space.
2
New cards
What is a viral genome?
A molecule of DNA or RNA, depending on the virus family.
3
New cards
What are Capsid (C) or nucleocapsid proteins (N or NP)?
They are the proteins that cover the viral genome.
4
New cards
What is the nucleocapsid complex or nucleocapsid?
It is the combination of the capsid and the genome.
5
New cards
What is the envelope?
It is the lipidic membrane surrounding the virion.
6
New cards
What are viral proteins?
They are proteins encoded by the viral genome.
7
New cards
What are structural proteins?
They are the viral proteins that constitute the virion.
8
New cards
What are non-structural proteins?
They are viral proteins that are not included in virions, meaning they are in the cell or the extra-cellular matrix not inside the virion.
9
New cards
What are surface glycoproteins?
They are glycoproteins incorporated in the virion’s envelope.
10
New cards
What are the components of a viral particle?
Viral particles are generally composed of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids.
11
New cards
What are the two types of viruses?
The two types of viruses are naked viruses (non-enveloped viruses) and enveloped viruses.
12
New cards
What is the envelop of a virus made of?
The envelop of a virus is made of a lipid bilayer membrane usually taken from a cell.
