Structure and Taxonomy of Viruses
Viruses are small force intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a RNA or DNA genome enclosed by a protective, virus-oblique protein coat. Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most perhaps of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. For propagation viruses depend on specialized host cells providing the multifaceted metabolic and biosynthetic machinery of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells.
A complete virus particle is called a virion. The main function of the virion is to deliver its DNA or RNA genome into the host cell so that the genome can be uttered (transcribed and translated) by the host cell. The viral genome, often with associated basic proteins, is packaged inside a symmetric protein capsid.
The nucleic acid-associated protein, called nucleoprotein, together with the genome, forms the nucleocapsid. In enveloped viruses, the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a lipid bilayer derived from the modified host cell membrane and studded with an outer layer of virus envelope glycoproteins.
