Viral Envelope
- Molecular classification
- Lipid Bilayer, Glycoprotein Complex, Membrane Structure
01
Overview
The viral envelope is the outermost lipid membrane layer found in many viruses. It is derived from the host cell and contains viral glycoproteins that mediate attachment, entry, and fusion with host cells. The envelope protects the viral genome and facilitates immune evasion. It is a key target for antiviral drug development.
