Notes about viruses
... The nucleic acid is the genome of the virus, its genetic program. The protein molecules, from a few dozen to many hundreds (depending on the type of virus) are attached to each other at their edges to make up a capsid, which is a protein coat or shell that contains the viral nucleic acid.
