Coronavirus

A type of virus that causes respiratory illnesses.

Scientific: Biotechnology
Infectious Disease / Virology

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like SARS and MERS. The most recent coronavirus outbreak, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to the global pandemic known as COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Scientific: Biotechnology
Infectious Disease / Virology

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a type of coronavirus that primarily affects the respiratory system, causing symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

COVID-19

Coronavirus Disease 2019

Scientific: Public Health
Infectious Disease / Epidemiology

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

Proteins

Large biomolecules essential for various biological functions.

Scientific: Pharmaceutical Research
Biochemistry / Molecular Biology

Proteins are complex molecules that play crucial roles in all living organisms. They carry out a wide range of functions, including catalyzing chemical reactions, transporting molecules, providing structural support, and regulating cellular processes.
