Virology 2015 Lecture #4: Structure of viruses

Virus particles are elegant assemblies of protein, nucleic acid, and in some cases lipids. In this lecture we cover the functions of viral structural proteins, and how they are organized by helical or icosahedral symmetry into metastable particles of various sizes. We also consider the origin of the viral envelope, other virion components, and the structural puzzle presented by giant viruses.
