Ebola Virus Structure in 3D VR

Have you tried yourself to assemble the coat of the Ebola virus? I have and my results in interactive 3D virtual reality you can enjoy here for free! Of course without any danger o infection....

Ebola virus has a filamentous, rather flexible form. Its genome contains RNA that codes for seven proteins. Like in the case of the HIV virus, the outer viral membrane is the lipid bilayer (elementary cell membrane) taken from the host cell. It is decorated with the viral glycoproteins which help the virus to stick to the host cell and at the same time make difficult for the antibodies to detect it. Ebola virus employs also further, more sophisticated tricks to survive the attack of the antibodies.
