Q
does a animal virus have to destroy the protien coat
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
An animal virus doesn't necessarily have to destroy its protein coat to infect a host cell. Instead, this protein coat, or capsid, is crucial for the virus's ability to infect its target. Upon encountering a susceptible cell, the virus attaches itself via its protein coat to specific receptors on the cell's surface. This interaction can trigger the cell to engulf the virus or allow the viral genome to enter through fusion, depending on the type of virus. Once inside, the virus can release its genetic material without necessarily destroying its coat, starting the replication process. In some instances, the protein coat is disassembled within the cell to release the viral genome, but this process is more aptly described as uncoating rather than destruction. This uncoating step is essential for the viral lifecycle but does not equate to the protein coat being destroyed in the initial stages of infection.
