The quality of SARS-CoV-2 experimentally determined structures varies widely (Grabowski et al., 2021). Validated and corrected structures can be obtained from COVID19.BioReproducibility.Org.

The genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus codes for 28 proteins: Out of those, 19 have already been characterized structurally. For the rest there are accurate AlphaFold2 predicted structures.
Details of the 3D structure & function of the key proteins & RNA inside the virus can be seen in the NY Times[3]. "The first viral protein created inside the infected cell, ORF1ab, is actually a chain of 16 proteins joined together. Two of these proteins act like scissors, snipping the links between the different proteins and freeing them to do their jobs."[3]


  • Main protease: it is a cysteine protease that is essential for the viral life cycle.
  • NSP1: Inhibits host translation by interacting with the 40S ribosomal subunit.
  • NSP2: May play a role in the modulation of host cell survival signaling pathway by interacting with host PHB and PHB2.
  • NSP3: Papain-like proteinase
  • NSP4: Participates in the assembly of virally-induced cytoplasmic double-membrane vesicles necessary for viral replication.[1][2]
  • NSP5: SARS 3CL-PRO: Main proteinase
  • NSP6: AlphaFold2 Theoretical Model - Plays a role in the initial induction of autophagosomes from host reticulum endoplasmic.
  • NSP7: NSP7 together with NSP8 aid the virus to make new copies of the RNA genome.
  • NSP8: Non-structural protein 8.
  • NSP9: Non-structural protein 9.
  • NSP10: Non-structural protein 10.
  • RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp)
  • Helicase (Hel): Multi-functional protein with a zinc-binding domain in N-terminus
  • Guanine-N7 methyltransferase (ExoN)
  • Uridylate-specific endoribonuclease (NendoU)
  • 2'-O-methyltransferase (2'-O-MT): Methyltransferase that mediates mRNA cap 2'-O-ribose methylation to the 5'-cap structure of viral mRNAs.
  • Surface glycoprotein (S) and SARS-CoV-2 protein S priming by furin
  • ORF3a: Forms homotetrameric potassium sensitive ion channels (viroporin) and may modulate virus release.
  • Protein E: Plays a central role in virus morphogenesis and assembly.
  • Protein M: AlphaFold2 Theoretical Model - Component of the viral envelope.
  • Protein N: AlphaFold2 Theoretical Model - Packages the positive strand viral genome RNA into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP).
  • ORF6: Could be a determinant of virus virulence.
  • ORF7a: Non-structural protein which is dispensable for virus replication in cell culture.
  • ORF8: Open Reading Frame 8.
  • ORF10‎:AlphaFold2 Theoretical Model - It is currently unclear whether this region translates into a functional protein.
