Imodeli ye-Adenovirus yezokwelapha esezingeni eliphezulu yokubonisa imodeli yegciwane enemininingwane yesakhiwo se-capsid ukuze kuboniswe

I-Adenovirus uhlobo lwezinhlayiya ezinobubanzi obungu-70-90 nm futhi azinawo umqulu, ezakhiwe izinhlayiya zegobolondo ezingu-252 ezihlelwe ngendlela ehambisana nezinhlangothi ezingu-20. Ububanzi benhlayiya ngayinye yegobolondo bungu-7-9 nm. Ngaphakathi kwe-capsid kukhona i-molecule ye-DNA ephindwe kabili eqondile, equkethe cishe u-4.7kb, enokulandelana okuphindaphindayo okuphindaphindwayo okungaba ngu-100 bp ekugcineni ngakunye. Ngenxa yokubopha okuhlanganisiwe kokuphela okungu-5 'kwentambo ngayinye ye-DNA ku-molecule yephrotheni enesisindo sama-molecule esingu-55X103Da, isakhiwo esiyindilinga se-DNA ephindwe kabili singakhiwa.
