Description
Coronavirus scale model on a white background. The virion (virus particle SARS-Cov-2) has characteristic faceting and a corona of spikes. The spikes (shown in reddish-orange) are trimers (three identical proteins wound together) that allow the virus to attach to a cell surface. Once it enters the cell, its RNA is released and directs the production of new virus particles. The total diameter of the model is 130nm. This novel coronavirus is the cause of pandemic COVID-19.
