For all the mysteries that remain about the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease it causes, scientists have generated an incredible amount of fine-grained knowledge in a surprisingly short time.

The main building material for a virus particle is about 2,000 copies ... Thanks to high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, ...

The virus particle comes apart, releasing the viral genome. The viral RNA (vRNA) is translated into a single polypeptide that is cut into ten proteins, and the viral genome is replicated.

The formation of VLP is depicted in Figure 1. Figure 1. The formation of a virus-like particle (VLP). Image Credit: Sino Biological Inc. To enable targeted drug research, Sino Biological has ...
