WHAT DOES CAPSOMER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

capsomer

Capsomere

The capsomere is a basic subunit of the capsid, an outer covering of protein that protects the genetic material of a virus. Capsomeres self-assemble to form the capsid. In this diagram of an Adenovirus, the capsid molecules are clearly visible. Subunits called protomers aggregate to form capsomeres which in turn aggregate to form capsid. Various arrangement of capsomeres are: 1) Icosahedral, 2) Helical, and 3) Complex. 1) Icosahedral- An icosohedron is a polygon with 12 vertices and 20 faces. Two types of capsomeres constitute the icosohedral capsid: pentagonal (pentons) at the vertices and hexagonal (hexons) at the faces. There are always twelve pentons, but the number of hexons varies among virus groups. In electron micrographs, capsomeres are recognized as regularly spaced rings with a central hole. Icosahedral symmetry is identical to cubic symmetry. 2) Helical- The protomers are not grouped in capsomeres, but are bound to each other so as to form a ribbon-like structure. This structure folds into a helix because the protomers are thicker at one end than at the other.
