Further Corona Proteins

Further corona proteins refer to additional proteins encoded by coronaviruses beyond the well-known structural proteins (spike, envelope, membrane, and nucleocapsid). These include accessory and non-structural proteins that play crucial roles in viral replication, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. While not always essential for virus assembly, they contribute to the virus’s ability to infect hosts and cause disease, making them important targets for research and therapeutic development.
