T=7 icosahedral capsid protein (kw:KW-1145)

Papillomaviruses and Polyomaviruses are composed solely of pentameric capsomeres for a total of 360 capsid proteins. Nevertheless their icosahedral structure is that of a T=7 capsid in which pentamers occupy hexavalent positions.
Icosahedric triangulation number is calculated following Caspar and Klug system
