The structure of virus consists of viral genome, nucleocapsid, tegument, envelope, and envelope protein. The genome is present in the Nucleocapsid.
The simplest of viruses are composed of genetic material and protein or capsid. Viruses do not produce many structural elements however some viruses may have an additional proteinaceous structure around the genetic material called nucleocapsid and a lipid bilayer covering the outer capsid layer called the envelope. The capsid is there to protect the genetic material from degradation. The viral envelope is derived from the host cell membrane and the virus encoded proteins. The sugar moieties attached to those proteins and this feature influences and contributes to the host specificity, host-parasite interaction etc.
The nucleocapsid protein is encoded by the gag gene in HIV virus and in coronavirus, it is the one present in greatest abundance and highly antigenic.
The virus structure varies among the different families and at the least has a capsid and in some there might be a nucleocapsid additionally covering the genetic material of the virus. It is either a capsid or the nucleocapsid and capsid that covers the genetic material.
The viral genetic material is covered by capsid and nucleocapsid.
