The close-up at the SARS-CoV-2 atomic level is incredibly detailed

The video below shows a very detailed SARS-CoV-2 image at the atomic level and mechanism of entry into the host cell of this virus.

We can now see close-up of SARS-CoV-2 virus at the atomic level thanks to a precise scientific model in 3D built by a biomedical modeling room thanks to the help of the researchers. The world's leading virologist.

Visual Science's 1-minute-long video shows the intricate structure of this deadly virus by describing in detail how it works and how our body responds to it. According to this video, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is currently the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic, about the size of a 1,000th the width of a human hair. However, thanks to modern modeling technology, we can see the close-up molecular structure of this virus.

In fact, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is more like a molecular "machine" than a living organism.

The designers used different colors to describe different parts of the virus. The green core of the virus illustrates its RNA is protected by special proteins, while the red envelope is surrounded by the membrane taken from the host cell, inside the region where the virus lives and multiplies. up.

SARS-CoV-2 virus has a rough surface and many spines, which attach to host cell receptors. The video also shows the interaction between viruses and antibodies that attack it as the human body tries to defend itself from outside intrusions.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has a rough and spiny surface.

Infection begins when the prickly protein on the surface of the virus attaches to receptors in the host cell. The viral protein causes the host cell to produce new viral molecules. This will cause the host cell to be destroyed.

To fight the virus, the human body will produce protective antibodies. These proteins will prevent the virus from attaching to host cells and attract immune cells to destroy the virus.
