Virology Lectures 2021 #4 - Structure of Viruses

Virus particles are constructed in three ways: with helical, icosahedral, or complex symmetry. This lecture covers the tools of structural biology and the principles of helical and icosahedral symmetry and how larger and larger viruses are assembled. Some virus particles are wrapped in a lipid envelope, derived from the host cell, which is embedded with viral glycoproteins.

– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded multiple days a week.

I don’t monetize my videos because it’s disruptive to learning. If you would like to support our work, go over to https://www.microbe.tv/contribute/
