capsid is a protein layer that wraps around the virus. There are four basic shapes of viruses. The tobacco mosiac‚ adenovirus‚ influenza virus‚ and t-even bacteriophage are each examples of a different virus structure. Each individual protein subunit composing the capsid is a capsomere. The tobacco mosiac virus has a helical capsoid and is rod shaped. The adenovirus is polyhedral and has a protein spike at each vertex. The influenza virus is made of a flexible‚ helecal capsid. It has
