  2. Viral protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_protein

    In DNA viruses and retroviruses, viral regulatory proteins can enhance viral gene transcription, likewise, these proteins can also enhance host cellular gene transcription too. [ 11 ] Viral accessory proteins, also known as auxiliary proteins, are coded for by the genome of retroviruses. [ 12 ]

  3. Viral replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_replication

    It is the first step of viral replication. Some viruses attach to the cell membrane of the host cell and inject its DNA or RNA into the host to initiate infection. Attachment to a host cell is often achieved by a virus attachment protein that extends from the protein shell (), of a virus.

  4. Viral envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_envelope

    A viral envelope is the outermost layer of many types of viruses. [1] It protects the genetic material in their life cycle when traveling between host cells. Not all viruses have envelopes. A viral envelope protein or E protein is a protein in the envelope, which may be acquired by the capsid from an infected host cell.

  5. DNA virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_virus

    Orthopoxvirus particles. A DNA virus is a virus that has a genome made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is replicated by a DNA polymerase.They can be divided between those that have two strands of DNA in their genome, called double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, and those that have one strand of DNA in their genome, called single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses. dsDNA viruses primarily belong ...

  6. Introduction to viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_viruses

    The RNA or DNA synthesis abilities of the cell produce the virus's DNA or RNA. Assembly takes place in the cell when the newly created viral proteins and nucleic acid combine to form hundreds of new virus particles. Release occurs when the new viruses escape or are released from the cell.

  7. Nucleoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoprotein

    A deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP) is a complex of DNA and protein. [12] The prototypical examples are nucleosomes, complexes in which genomic DNA is wrapped around clusters of eight histone proteins in eukaryotic cell nuclei to form chromatin. Protamines replace histones during spermatogenesis.

  8. Capsid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsid

    The most understood helical virus is the tobacco mosaic virus. [22] The virus is a single molecule of (+) strand RNA. Each coat protein on the interior of the helix bind three nucleotides of the RNA genome. Influenza A viruses differ by comprising multiple ribonucleoproteins, the viral NP protein organizes the RNA into a helical structure.

  9. Virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus

    When not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent viral particles, or virions, consisting of (i) genetic material, i.e., long molecules of DNA or RNA that encode the structure of the proteins by which the virus acts; (ii) a protein coat, the capsid, which surrounds and protects the ...
