Uploading columbia lectures is such a godsend fr. I love learning virology thru these videos while i do my other actual bio course work at uni. You make it really interesting Vincent!
Looking at the illustrations of viruses early in this lecture, I am surprised by the similarity between the viral illustrations and photographs of diatoms.
I have a question. Does influenza virus have eight different nucleocapsids, one for each ot its -RNA segments? If so is that what defines its helical nature?😮 The virion image appears globular. I assume that is so because of the encompassing membrane? Thank you for answering this question. I did not catch this nuance in your previous versions of this lecture!
I think so, he grouped viral structure by capsid / nucleocapsid structure, , not by their structure itself. Even if the if Ebolavirus looked like round as influenza, it would stay as helical, not isohedrical.
According to my text book, school notes, google AI bard , and Oxford dictionary the nucleocapsid refers to the capsid together with the nucleic acid it encloses. So that might be why so many are confused when you say your definition because nucleocapsid according to the other sources would be found in non enveloped and enveloped viruses

thank you Vincent ,i enjoy the learning i get from your shows...

I have benefitted a lot from this class. My name is Gwengi - a student of pharmacy in Kenya

Thanks proff its very helpful...❤
Thanks for another lecture, it was great!

Excellent
"The bonding contacts of subunits are usually non-covalent." Are they not always non-covalent?
Ty for this
Don't get the term meta-stable in context of the protective role for viral genome
Thanks, watching from Kazakhstan
Thanks Vincent! Amazing lecture ....
Thanks Vincent! Amazing lecture!!
Thank you professor 💚💚
the mic bites on this one.....
