Before revision: Icosahedral viruses range in diameter from 10's to 100's of nanometers, their infectious genome encapsulated by a shell assembled by a poorly understood multiscale process, starting from an integer multiple (the T number) of 60 nearly identical viral capsid or coat protein (VP) monomers.
