The norovirus surface is a protein coat, called the “capsid.” The capsid protects the norovirus’ genetic material. The naked capsid coat is one factor that makes norovirus so difficult to control.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are nanoscale particles, approximately 100–300 nm in diameter, formed by self-assembly of viral capsid ... proteins in their full natural conformation on the surface ...

The HIV-1 capsid is formed by a mesh of around 200 protein hexamers and pentamers, arranged similarly to a football. It is, however, not spherical, but shaped like a cone, with a narrow and a ...
