virion[′vir·ē‚än] (virology) The complete, mature virus particle. Virion a mature virus particle or elementary virus corpuscle. A virion consists of nucleic acid (RNA or DNA), hereditary (genetic) material encased in a shell of protein subunits (molecules or aggregates of molecules). The virions of more complexly organized viruses may have external membranes (containing proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) or special formations, as in bacteriophages. REFERENCELwoff, A., R.
