Most viruses are too small (100â2,000 Angstrom units) to be seen with the light microscope and thus must be studied by electron microscopes.

The capsomers of helical viruses are composed of a single polypeptide and are also called protomers. All viruses of animals, except for poxviruses which have a complex structure, are minimally composed of a nucleocapsid which is the capsid surrounding the nucleic acid. capsid is composed of structural units called capsomeres. Its symmetry may be cubic or helical. A protein coat that covers the nucleoprotein core or nucleic acid (RNA, DNA) of a free virus particle or phage, which may have icosahedral symmetry and itself be enclosed in an envelopeâe.g., Togaviridae.
