Description

This influenza virus is magnified in size 1 million times. It is an accurate representation of proteins, cytoplasm and genetic material, created using CellPACK. The virus’s taller proteins (dark blue) unlock a human cell from the outside and allow the virus in. Once the virus has multiplied, the shorter proteins (light blue) unlock the cell from within so new viruses can escape to infect more cells.
