Figure 3

A multiscale model of the SARS-CoV-2 virion. (A) Exterior view of the SARS-CoV-2 virion is given. (B) Interior view of the SARS-CoV-2 virion is given. S-protein trimers are depicted in teal, with the glycosylation sites represented as black spheres. M-protein dimers are in blue, with pentameric E ion channels in orange. The density of S, M, and E proteins was chosen to be consistent with experiments (38, 39, 40). The diameters of the membrane envelope are ∼100 and 140 nm including the S proteins on the virion surface. To see this figure in color, go online.
