Abstract:Short communicationJ Hum Virol Retrovirol 2017, 5(2): 00148 the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex.EM studies of coronaviruses have shown that coronavirus RNPs are helical, consisting of coils of 9-16 nm in diameter and a hollow interior of approximately 3-4 nm (For a review see Chang and Huang, 2014) [2] Accommodation of the ~30 kb CoV genome into the newly formed virion spherules <100 nm in size necessitates an extremely well-packed, largely helical, supercoiling of the nucleic acid within the RNP core.
