Coronavirus

A type of virus that causes respiratory illness.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses in animals and humans. They are named for their crown-like appearance under a microscope. Some coronaviruses cause mild illnesses like the common cold, while others can cause more severe diseases such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19. It is a type of coronavirus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019.

COVID-19

Coronavirus Disease 2019

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can lead to complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Proteins

Large biomolecules essential for the structure and function of all living organisms.

Proteins are complex molecules made up of chains of amino acids. They play many vital roles in the body, including building and repairing tissues, transporting substances, catalyzing chemical reactions, and providing structural support.
