The dengue virus has a roughly spherical shape. Inside the virus is the nucleocapsid ... It is composed of the viral genome and capsid proteins surrounded by an envelope and a shell of proteins.

Local Rule-Based Theory of Virus Shell Assembly. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1994. 91(16): p. 7732-7736. Elrad, O. M. and M.F. Hagan, Mechanisms of ...

This involves the HIV-1 protease (a viral enzyme), that cuts up Gag into six smaller proteins including the capsid protein and the matrix protein. This causes a huge structural rearrangement of the ...
