During the replication of many viruses, hundreds to thousands of proteins assemble around the viral nucleic acid to form a protein shell called a capsid. We focus on understanding the role of the encapsidated RNA, DNA, or man-made cargoes such as drugs or functionalized nanoparticles, in the capsid assembly process. #Bacteriaphage #DNA #RNA #genome #capsid #VIRUS #VIRION #genetics #virusTypes #ssDNA #ssRNA #dsRNA #dsDNA #Rhinovirus #viralInfection #commonCold #flu #immuneSystem #immunology #viruses #viralReproduction #lyticCycle #lysogenicCycle #structureOfAVirus #areVirusesAlive #areAllVirusesBad #nuclearPolyhedrosisVirus #lyticVsLysogenic #virusCycles #viralCycles #howVirusesWork #bacteriophage #virusReplication #howVirusesReproduce #highSchoolBiology
