Viruses are nature’s master engineers ... reimagining nanocages in tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral shapes. The standout is the icosahedral nanocage, with a diameter of 75 nanometers ...

The 3.0 Å resolution crystal structure of Pariacoto virus (PaV) reveals extensive interactions between portions of the viral RNA genome and the icosahedral capsid. Under the protein shell of the ...

Based on a comparison of known virus types and an icosahedral virus isolated from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park, the team found that coat proteins in all viral types that inhabit the three ...

On the other hand, it is a leading cause of virus-associated birth defects ... the particle is the viral DNA that is surrounded by an icosahedral capsid. Between the capsid and the envelope ...
