<P> A capsid is the protein shell of a virus . It consists of several oligomeric structural subunits made of protein called protomers . The observable 3 - dimensional morphological subunits , which may or may not correspond to individual proteins , are called capsomeres . The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus . </P>
