Imodeli ye-Adenovirus yezonyango esemgangathweni ophezulu yokubonisa imodeli yentsholongwane yesakhiwo se-capsid eneenkcukacha ukuze kuboniswe

I-Adenovirus luhlobo lwesuntswana olunobubanzi obuyi-70-90 nm kwaye alunamvulophu, oluqulunqwe ngamasuntswana egobolondo angama-252 ahlelwe ngendlela enamacala angama-20. Ububanzi besuntswana nganye yegobolondo yi-7-9 nm. Ngaphakathi kwi-capsid kukho imolekyuli ye-DNA ephindwe kabini ethe tyaba, equlethe malunga ne-4.7kb, enolandelelwano oluphindaphindayo olumalunga ne-100 bp kwicala ngalinye. Ngenxa yokubopha kwe-covalent kwesiphelo se-5 'sentambo nganye ye-DNA kwimolekyuli yeproteni enobunzima bemolekyuli obuyi-55X103Da, isakhiwo esijikelezayo se-DNA ephindwe kabini sinokwenziwa.
