Study Notes

Simetria Icosahedral Viral

  • Comporta 60 subunitates asimmetric identic, formando un modelo consistente e uniforme.
  • Presenta un total de 20 facies, conferente a un aspetto geometrico distintivo.
  • Include 12 vertices, pontes important de connectione in le structure.
  • Simetria es define per axes de 5-3-2, indicando le arrangemento e diversitate del subunitates in le spazio.

Concepto Moderne de Patogenese Viral

  • Teoria Germinal: Recognition que multe patologias virales es causate per agentes vivant, designate como "germs".
  • Progressos in Filtrage: Discoverie que cert "germs" pote esser retained per filtras de porcelana unglazate, durante que altere non pote; distinction inter virus filterable e unfilterable.
  • Parasitas Intracellular Obligate: Realization que viruses es parasitas requerente un organismo in vivo pro reproducir; tentativas repetite de culturar et propagare viruses extra un organismo host non succedeva.
  • Visualisation per Microscopia Electronica (EM): Utilisation de EM pro visualisar viruses, revelante structures particulare con morphologie definite e specific.
