Virology Lectures 2016 #4: Structure of viruses

Virus particles are built to protect the genome and to deliver it to a new host cell. In this lecture we consider the two main ways that viruses are constructed, by helical and icosahedral symmetry. We discuss how to make larger and larger viruses, the triangulation number, quasiequivalence, and metastability. We end with a discussion of the lipid envelope derived from the host cell that is embedded with viral glycoproteins.
