The viroid consists of about 350 nucleotides. Prion because pr oteinacious in fectious particles.
Viruses have several features that distinguish them from cells. They lack the cellular components necessary to generate energy and synthesize protein (for example, ribosome). Because they contain so little nucleic acid, they do not have all of the genes necessary for the synthesis of many different proteins. As consequence, viruses can only multiply inside living cells, where they use cell structures and enzymes to support their own multiplication.
Viruses have ultramicroscopic size. This term means that most of them are so minute (less than 200 nm) that an electron microscope is necessary to detect them of to examine their structure. More than 2000 bacterial viruses could fit into an average bacterial cell, and more than 50 million polioviruses could be accommodated by an average human cell. Animal viruses range in size from the small parvoviruses (around 20 nm in diameter) to poxviruses that are as large as the smallest bacterial cell (about 300 nm in diameter).
Most viruses are too small to be seen under the light microscope. Observing the structure of a virus generally required the use of an electron microscope.
Many purified viruses can form large aggregates or crystals.
Viruses contain only those parts needed to invade and control a host cell: an external coating and a core containing nucleic acid strand.
Each virus particle is called virion . All viruses consist of an RNA or DNA core genome surrounded by a protein coat capsid. The combined viral genome and capsid is called the nucleocapsid .
The capsid symmetry is an important taxonomic criterion used in classifying viruses.
T-even bacteriophages are composed of a polyhedral head containing double-stranded DNA and helical tail.
Tobacco mosaic virus is one of the simplest viruses that consist of one strand RNA molecule and one type of protein. Each capsid is composed of many identical protein subunits called capsomeres .
Unlike cells, which always contain both DNA and RNA, viruses contain either DNA or RNA. Reoviruses, for example, is a double-stranded RNA virus, with a segmented genome consisting of 10 separate RNA molecules, influenza viruses have single-stranded segmented RNA genome. As a rule, one segment is a one gene and codes one protein.
Because viruses must pack into a tiny space all of the genes necessary to instruct the host cell to make new viruses, the size of a viral genome is quite small compared with that of a cell. It varies from four genes in hepatitis B virus to hundreds of genes in some herpesviruses. By comparison, the E.coli has approximately 4000 genes.
The capsid can be composed of a single type of protein (TMV) or may contain several different proteins.
Enveloped viruses are more sensitive to heat, detergents, and lipid solvents such as alcohol and ether than are nonenveloped (naked) viruses.
For example, the capsids of enteric viruses such as polioviruses and hepatitis A are resistant to the acid- and protein-digesting enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract. 3. so, they have antigenic properties.
Enzymes that are used by viruses for their reproduction can be divide into 3 gropes:
In an informal and general way, we have already begun classifying viruses—as animal, plant, or bacterial viruses; enveloped or naked viruses; DNA or RNA viruses; and helical or icosahedral viruses The main criteria presently used to group viruses are structure, chemical composition, and similarities in genetic makeup. A widely used scheme for classifying animal viruses first assigns them to one of two superfamilies, either those containing DNA or those containing RNA. DNA viruses can be further subdivided into six families, and RNA viruses into 13 families, for a total of 19 families of animal viruses
Characteristics used for placement in a particular family include type of capsid, nucleic acid strand number, presence and type of envelope, overall viral size, and area of the host cell in which the virus multiplies.
Some virus families are named for their microscopic appearance (shape and size). Examples include rhabdoviruses,* which have a bullet-shaped envelope, and togaviruses, which have a cloaklike envelope. Anatomical or geographic areas have also been used in naming. For instance, adenoviruses were first discovered in adenoides, and bunyaviruses were originally isolated in an area in Africa called Bunyamwera.
Viruses can also be named for their effects on the host. Lentiviruses tend to cause slow, chronic infections. Acronyms made from blending several characteristics include picornaviruses,* which are tiny RNA viruses, and reoviruses (or respiratory enteric orphan viruses), which inhabit the respiratory tract and the intestine and are not yet associated with any known disease state.
Virus families are given a name composed of a Latin root followed by -viridae. Viral genera are denoted by a special Latinized root followed by the suffix -virus (for example, Enterovirus and Herpesvirus).
