Select any virus below to explore its structure and biology. The envelope contains viral proteins embedded in it. Viral proteins with sugars attached to them are called glycoproteins ...

Two surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), and the M2 ion-channel protein are embedded in the viral envelope, which is derived from the host's plasma membrane.

The nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane called the viral envelope, a lipid bilayer that is taken from the host. Embedded in the viral envelope are 180 copies of the E and M proteins that span ...
