T=2 icosahedral capsid protein
| Definition | Viral protein that forms an icosahedral capsid with a T=2* symmetry to protect the viral genome. The T=2* capsid is composed of 120 subunits. The T=2* symmetry does not exist under the rules described by Caspar and Klug, strictly speaking the capsid has a T=1 symmetry composed of 60 dimeric subunits. The capsid diameter is about 40 nm. |
