Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Capsids are thecage-like structure,which surrounds manyforms of microorganisms like viruses (for example bacteriophages), viroids, and virons. The capsidis polymorphic in nature, that is, they have many forms. On the basis of polymorphism, size,pathogenesis, infectivity, and protein subunits it can be classified into many types. Capsids protect the genetic material.
