Envelope Protein

Envelope proteins are crucial components of viral structure, playing a vital role in viral assembly, release, and host-cell interactions. Current research focuses on understanding the intricate interplay between envelope proteins and host cellular machinery, particularly within the Golgi apparatus, using computational models like cellular automata to analyze structural variations and their impact on viral transmissibility. These studies aim to elucidate the mechanisms driving viral pathogenesis and potentially inform the development of novel antiviral strategies.
