Keyword - T=pseudo3 icosahedral capsid protein (KW-1143)
Keywords navigation
Definition
Viral protein that forms an icosahedral capsid with a pseudo T=3 symmetry to protect the viral genome. The pseudo T=pseudo3 capsid is composed of 180 subunits. Each subunit does not occupy a quasi-equivalent position, therefore the structure is called pseudo. The capsid diameter ranges from 26 to 40 nm.
