Icosahedral symmetry is the most efficient way to build a strong container from many identical parts. By arranging elastic protein subunits in a perfectly symmetrical way, the virus creates a shell ...
Flaviviruses, such as Dengue and Zika, were assumed to be symmetrical icosahedrons (shapes with 20 identical faces) based on data from microscopes. But these icosahedral viruses might not be perfectly ...
