Deproteinization of Viruses

Deproteinization (also "proteolysis" or "deproteinization") of viruses can be described as the process by which the proteins of the virus that make up its outer shell (or just shell) are cleaved to remove protein material from the outer shell of the virus and prevent its further replication

Deproteinization is one of the stages of virus research, similar to genetic interpretation in the analysis of viruses. Viruses are typically made up of proteins, but in the case of human infections the structure is quite intricate, making them difficult to diagnose.

In this process, proteins covering the surface of the virus are broken down to access their DNA or RNA and identify genes involved in virus replication. As a result of this research, viruses can be more accurately identified and identified as causing specific diseases.

This process involves successive stages of separation of proteins from viral particles, which may occur during transport and cultivation of viruses in the medium. There are several methods for degrading proteins today, although most rely on enzymes and other chemical reactions.
