Phage assembly question
Sooo how are viral phages assembled inside an infected cell? I understand that the ribosomes are hijacked into making the raw materials for the phages. But a viral phage is a complex thing. It is not just big strand of protein.
After the infected cell has made the components for the phages, do they spontaneously assemble themselves? Do they get shuttled down the ER like an assembly line while some other organelle puts them together?
How does this work? What does the work?
