A complex of proteins that form a scaffold around which the viral capsid is constructed. The complete protein-nucleic acid complex that is the packaged form of the genome in a virus particle. The protein coat that surrounds the infective nucleic acid in some virus particles. It comprises numerous regularly arranged subunits, or capsomeres. The protein coat that surrounds the infective nucleic acid in some virus particles; the subunits are arranged to form a protein helix with the genetic material contained within. Tobacco mosaic virus has such a capsid structure. A multimeric ring of proteins through which the DNA enters and exits the viral capsid. The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together. Any of the protein subunits that comprise the closed shell or coat (capsid) of certain viruses. The protein coat that surrounds the infective nucleic acid in some virus particles; the subunits are arranged to form an icosahedron, a solid with 20 faces and 12 vertices. Tobacco satellite necrosis virus has such a capsid structure. The complete fully infectious extracellular virus particle. Any constituent part of a virion, a complete fully infectious extracellular virus particle.
