Although needs and esthetic of humans and viruses are different, forces bounding smaller pieces into large stable structure result in surprisingly similar effects. Different types of bounds (either created by forces of paper or by chemical bounds between proteins), multiple similar elements, need of balance and stability lead to similar structures, both in a case of Twirls (as I call my origami artworks) in the macro-scale and, in case of viruses, in the micro scale.
