STRUCTURE OF A VIRUS - Class 11 Biology Online Notes

NCERT Biology Class 11 - Viruses contain nucleic acid—either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein. The nucleic acid encodes the genetic information which is unique for each virus. The infectious, external covering (core) of a virus is called the virion. The virion capsid has three functions:
(1)  Protection of the viral nucleic acid from digestion by certain enzymes (nucleases).
(2)  To furnish sites on its surface that help to recognize and attach (adsorb) the virion to receptors on the surface of the host cell, and, in some viruses.
(3)  It provides proteins that enable the virion to penetrate through the cell surface membrane inject the infectious nucleic acid into the interior of the host cell.
 It contains at least one unique protein which is synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of that virus. In virtually all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell (called a capsid) around the nucleic acid either DNA or RNA. The capsid consists of numerous capsomers, each having a few monomers or structural units. Each structural unit is made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The different arrangement of capsomeres in the capsid determines the shape of a virion. Viruses have three different types of symmetry as explained below:

One to One Correspondence and Equivalent Sets Suppose the members of the family are dinning and plates are prepared on the table then there is a One to one correspondence between the set of family members and the plates prepared. We will indicate this correspondence by the symbol If each element of a set A is associated with one and only one element of a set B and each element of B is associated with one and only one element of set A, then the sets A and B are said to be in one to one correspondence. If both the sets are finite and if they are in one to one correspondence, it is obvious that they have the same number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, they are said to be equivalent sets. Using symbol, we write A B. Between two equivalent sets, a one to one corr...
