The nucleocapsid is a crucial component of various viruses, including the Hepatitis B virus, SARS virus, Lassa virus, Swine flu virus, and Avian influenza virus. It plays a vital role in protecting the viral genetic material and ensuring its replication within host cells. In the case of Hepatitis B virus particles, artwork C016 / 9097 showcases how the nucleocapsid surrounds the viral DNA or RNA genome. Similarly, in HK97 bacteriophage procapsid and SARS virus capsid protein F006 / 9504 images, we can observe their respective nucleocapsids enclosing their genetic material. Artwork C016 / 9129 beautifully captures another illustration of a Hepatitis B virus particle with its distinctive nucleocapsid structure. This intricate arrangement is also seen in TEM images of Lassa virus particles (C016 / 9409) and Swine flu virus particles (C016 / 9406). Furthermore, TEM images depicting Lassa (C016 / 9408) and Swine flu (C016 / 9407) viruses highlight their unique nucleocapsids responsible for safeguarding their genomes during infection. Lastly, Avian influenza viruses are known to possess distinct nucleocapsids as shown in TEM images C015/8800 and C015/8799. These structures aid in maintaining the integrity of viral genetic material while facilitating efficient replication inside host cells.
