To overcome this, the research team turned to AI-driven computational design, reimagining nanocages in tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral shapes. The standout is the icosahedral nanocage ...

"Budvirus is the first virus ever described that infects cryptophytes ... Budvirus capsid has an icosahedral shape measuring 200 nanometers, roughly ten times larger than the usual size of viruses.

On the other hand, it is a leading cause of virus-associated birth defects ... the particle is the viral DNA that is surrounded by an icosahedral capsid. Between the capsid and the envelope ...
