Abstract A criterion, designated as the CV ration, has been proposed for evaluating the number of capsomeres of icosahedral capsids. The criterion, CV ration, is the ratio of the distance between neighbouring capsomeres of an icosahedral capsid to the maximal diameter of the capsid, in the intrinsic sence. In practice, the CV ratio is measured as the ratio of the maximal distance observed between neighbouring capsomeres of a capsid to its maximal diameter, in high-resolution electron micrographs of the virus. The theoretical values of observable CV ration of icosahedral models variously oriented were also calculated. The CV ratios found of icosahedral capsids were found to be in close agreement with the theoretical CV ratios of icosahedral models. It was suggested because of this agreement that the CV ratio may serve as a criterion for evaluating the number of the capsomeres.
