Description
Influenza virus structure. Conceptual computer artwork showing the internal structure of a typical flu virus particle. The core of the virus contains a single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid)) molecule (spiral arrow), its genetic material. Surrounding this is a protein coat (capsid, green) and the external membrane (gold). Embedded in the membrane are two types of surface protein (rods) that help the virus attach to cells.
