2icosahedral — In virology this term refers to a virus with an icosahedral capsid, which has the shape of a regular polyhedron having 20 equilateral triangular faces and 12 corners …
3Icosahedral symmetry — A Soccer ball, a common example of a spherical truncated icosahedron, has full icosahedral symmetry. A regular icosahedron has 60 rotational (or orientation preserving) symmetries, and a symmetry order of 120 including transformations that… …

6capsid — A protein coat that covers the nucleoprotein core or nucleic acid of a virion. Commonly shows icosahedral symmetry and may itself be enclosed in an envelope (as in the Togaviridae). The capsid is built up of subunits (some integer multiple of 60 …
7icosahedral symmetry — an arrangement of viral subunits in which the structure of the viral capsid is characterized by symmetry having the rotation axes of a regular polygon with 20 triangular surfaces (icosahedron); each face contains several subunits, the total… …
8HHV capsid portal protein — HHV Capsid Portal Protein, or HSV 1 UL 6 protein, is the protein which forms a cylindrical portal in the capsid of Herpes simplex virus (HSV 1). The protein is commonly referred to as the HSV 1 UL 6 protein because it is is the transcription… …
9DNA virus — A DNA virus is a virus that has DNA as its genetic material and replicates using a DNA dependent DNA polymerase. The nucleic acid is usually double stranded DNA (dsDNA) but may also be single stranded DNA (ssDNA). DNA viruses belong to either… …
