Descriptor nucleocápside
Scope note: Complejo de proteína y ácido nucleico que constituye parte o la totalidad de los viriones. Consta de una CÁPSIDA que alberga un ácido nucleico. Dependiendo del virus, la nucleocápsida puede aparecer como un núcleo desnudo o estar rodeada por una cubierta membranosa.
