Viral Structural Proteins MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Viral Structural Proteins
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.964.970
Unique ID
D015678
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015678
Annotation
coordinate IM with specific protein (IM) + specific virus (IM)
Scope Note
Viral proteins that are components of the mature assembled VIRUS PARTICLES. They may include nucleocapsid core proteins (gag proteins), enzymes packaged within the virus particle (pol proteins), and membrane components (env proteins). These do not include the proteins encoded in the VIRAL GENOME that are produced in infected cells but which are not packaged in the mature virus particle,i.e. the so called non-structural proteins (VIRAL NONSTRUCTURAL PROTEINS).
