| Abstract |
Genetic economy is a key feature in all aspects of viral replication. Some viruses are able to function as independently evolving entities with as few as two genes, while satellite viruses have been described that encode a single gene product. To accommodate the need for genetic economy, the viral infectious entity - the virion, generally assembles in a highly-symmetrical manner. Viral structural proteins are multifunctional, accomplishing several tasks beyond their primary role of forming protective shells. These include mediating attachment and entry, avoiding and regulating host responses to infection and sometimes mediating gene expression and genome replication. Here we introduce some of the basic principles of virus assembly with examples to show how recurring motifs are seen in spherical viruses that infect diverse host species, how some viruses use helical assemblies to encapsidate their genomes and how viral envelope glycoproteins accomplish membrane fusion. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 November 2018.
All research outputs
#20,523,725
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Sub cellular biochemistry
#305
of 365 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#378,477
of 442,634 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Sub cellular biochemistry
#13
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 365 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,634 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
