SARS-CoV-2 virus. The spikes, that adorn the virus surface, impart a corona like appearance (Fusion Animation).

A novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, detected in Wuhan, China in 2019, was found to cause severe respiratory illness named COVID-19[1] (COrona VIrus Disease-2019).

There’s a new NCBI site on COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. It will help bench scientists, bioinformaticians, clinicians & others connect with information they need to study SARS-CoV-2 and end the pandemic.

A video (by Elara) shows how the virus interacts with its human (host) cells, via its spike proteins[2][3][4][5][6][7], thus permitting the viral genome to enter its host & begin infection. The spike protein is induced for optimal binding when it is clipped by a protease (see animation on right side) and more details at SARS-CoV-2_protein_S_activation_by_furin. Subsequently, it undergoes a dramatic transformation to induce membrane fusion and infection, explained with a morph animation at SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fusion transformation.
