I am not that content of these illustrations of virus, however....

Viral Entry into Cells
Viruses have evolved a mechanism to avoid 'getting stuck' at the cell surface when emerging from an infected cell.

So true, when I want to avoid getting stuck, I interact weakly to make sure I can shake off easily, and  some caffe latte speeds me up, even better with some sugar.

Influenza virus recognizes a carbohydrate to attach to the cell membrane, which buds out when forming new virions. To avoid getting stuck, the virions destroy the receptors with neuraminidase, which enzyme activity releases the assembled virions from the cell surface.






This is my life in a nut shell.
