The protein shell that encloses viral genetic material.
The capsid protects the viral genome and helps deliver it into host cells. Capsids are composed of protein subunits called capsomeres and may show helical, icosahedral, or complex symmetry. Capsid structure influences viral stability, immune recognition, diagnostic detection, and antiviral drug development.
