This is a good page. Thanks for the hard work!

[edit] Errors

This article has some errors as I see it. In particular, the notion that envelope proteins begin on the capsid and are relocated to the envelope during budding is unfounded and no doubt falsified by existing research. The envelope is not always cell membrane; e.g. HSV family uses inner nuclear membrane. The article mentions three major viral structure classes, but one of them is "enveloped" and the context of this article is the capsid... So I am confused by what this article was trying to convey.

Well, I rewrote those bits and added some references. Hopefully it's better. ManVhv 04:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error 2

In the upper picture, CMV is presented with two molecules (drawn by two thick red lines) of DNA or RNA. However, CMV has only one dsDNA molecule present within the capsid. Hope someone corrects this. DrJankovic (talk) 18:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
