A Virion can be known as a complete virus particle consisting of an RNA and DNA core sounded by a protein coat called the capsid. Its external envelope of lipids enable it to act as the extracellular infective form of a virus. Also, shaping the virion into simple helical or icosahedral forms, ranging to more complex structures for other forms of viruses.

 Mass Spectrometry in the process in where proteins can be identified. Whether it be a single [[Protein|protein]], or a collections of [[Proteins|proteins]], obatined after procedures such as [[Gel electrophoresis|gel electrophoresis]] or by [[Column chromatography|column chromatography]].The proteins in the sample are firstly broken down into smaller peptides, where they are ionized creating a postive charge. These ionized peptides are accelerated via an electric field towards a decetor. The mass to charge ratio of these ions affect the time it takes for them to reach the dector, large peptides moving slower and higher charged molecules move faster.<ref>Alberts et al (2008) Molecular Biology Of The Cell, 5th Edition</ref> The masses of the peptides obtained by the detector can then be measured and compared to other well known peptides in a database, determing the genomic seqeunce and ultimately the [[Protein|protein]].
