A virus are composed of a capsid which 'houses' the genetic material in either RNA of DNA form (single-stranded or double-stranded). Some viruses like herpes have an additional layer which is the viral envelope. This layer is important in infectivity of the virus on host cells.
Explanation:
The envelope of viruses usually change conformation when the viruses’ glycoproteins bind on the receptors of a host cell. This conformational change causes a spring-like mechanism that lunges the capsid with the viral genetic material into the host cell. This genetic material is enough to hijack the host cell machinery to replicate and assemble all the replicated parts of the viruses. Before the genetic material intergrates with the host cell genome the capsid is broken down in the host cell cytoplasm to uncoat the viral genetic material which enters the nucleus.
