Viral Symmetry

VIRAL SYMMETRY: T4 BACTERIOPHAGE A regular iosahedron is the optimum way of forming a olosed shell [Capsid) from identioal sub-units Tail fibers and endplate to injeot the viral genome contraot into host oell Helical Symmetry RNA Protein Subunit T4 Baoteriophage found in E.Coli exhibit a perfeotly helioal tail strooture oomposed of ooiled RNA sheathed in protein subumits.
