Abstract
This book chapter presents a concise overview of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores viral classification based on morphology and nucleic acid composition with a focus on DNA and RNA viruses, the SARS-CoV-2 structure including the structural as well as nonstructural proteins in detail, and the viral replication mechanisms. The chapter then delves into the characteristics and diversity of coronaviruses, particularly SARS-CoV-2, highlighting its similarities with other beta-coronaviruses. The replication and transcription complex, RNA elongation, and capping, as well as the role of accessory proteins in viral replication and modulation of the host immune response is discussed extensively.
期刊介绍：
Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science (PMBTS) provides in-depth reviews on topics of exceptional scientific importance. If today you read an Article or Letter in Nature or a Research Article or Report in Science reporting findings of exceptional importance, you likely will find comprehensive coverage of that research area in a future PMBTS volume.
