the principle that identical subunits in a virus shell occupy slightly different but nearly equivalent environments, allowing icosahedral capsids larger than 60 subunits.

In structural biology, quasi-equivalence refers to the principle that identical subunits in a virus shell occupy slightly different but nearly equivalent environments, allowing icosahedral capsids larger than 60 subunits. This meaning comes from Caspar (1962) in Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology.[1]
