"In addition, while the capsid is associated with budding initiation, it is not required for curvature formation. By determining the NEC structure in several #conformations, we show that curvature arises from an asymmetric assembly of disordered and hexagonally ordered lattice domains independent of pUL25 or other #viral #capsid vertex components. Our results advance our understanding of the mechanism of nuclear egress in the context of a living cell."

In most cases, the virus's #genetic material, #DNA is enclosed within a protective protein shell called a #capsid . A research group at Lund University is working to understand the process by which the #virus ejects its genetic material from the capsid and into cells and what causes the virus's DNA to be released.
