Illustration of the ultrastructure of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. It is an enveloped RNA (ribonucleic acid, blue) virus. Within the membrane are spike proteins (red), membrane proteins (orange) and envelope proteins (yellow). Spike proteins allow the virus to bind to the host cell. Membrane proteins and envelop proteins play a role in virus assembly.RNA and nuclear protein are encased inside the virus (blue). SARS-CoV-2 causes the respiratory infection Covid-19, which can lead to fatal pneumonia. | |
