The capsid is constructed of 2760 pseudo-hexameric capsomers and 12 pentameric capsomers, with a T=277 symmetry, about 200 nm in diameter (PubMed:31624094). The capsid encapsulates the DNA-containing nucleoid, the core shell and the inner membrane (PubMed:9580160). Plays an essential role in virion assembly (PubMed:9580160). Involved in virus attachment to the host cell (PubMed:8764090).
