What is Virus Structure and Bacteriophages about?
Viruses have a capsid containing their genetic material made of DNA or RNA. Some viruses have an envelope surrounding the capsid or a tail for binding to host cells. All viruses share basic replication steps - attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication of genetic material, assembly of new virus particles, and release. Bacteriophages were first discovered in the early 20th century and were used therapeutically before antibiotics but fell out of favor. Interest has been renewed with antibiotic resistance
