HSV particles (virions) are composed of an outer lipid envelope (yellow) and an icosahedral protein core (capsid, bright red) encasing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, purple), the genetic material of the virus. HSV-1, more commonly known as oral herpes, causes sores around the mouth and lips known as cold sores.
