Structure of a virus

Microbiology · Virology

Virion of subfamily Orthohepevirinae, Family Hepeviridae, e. g. Hepatitis E virus: Quasi-enveloped, spherical, about 32-34 nm in diameter. The RNA genome is enclosed within a capsid that is composed of 180 capsid proteins, assembled into a T=3 icosahedral particle. The HEV particles present in feces and bile are non-enveloped, while those in circulating blood and culture supernatants are cove
