Schematic of SARS-CoV-2. The viral RNA is contained within the viral envelope, a lipid bilayer derived from the host cell membrane. Structural proteins such as spike (S), membrane (M), envelope (E) proteins are embedded in the viral envelope. The S protein is essential for the virus to attach to and enter uninfected cells.
