Adenovirus capsid model,computer artwork. Adenoviruses are the largest viruses not to have a protein coat,as they are small enough to enter the cell membrane without binding to it first. They only have a protein capsid enclosing their DNA genetic material. This capsid is icosahedral,having 20 triangular faces (yellow/orange),and made up of regular arrangements of protein capsomers (gold/green). There are many types of adenovirus. They commonly cause infections of the upper respiratory tract,causing cold-like symptoms,particularly in children | |
