Illustration showing the structure of an influenza (flu) virus. At the virus's core are ribonucleoprotein particles that include the viral RNA (ribonucleic acid, red) genome and RNA polymerase molecules (orange). Enclosing the core is a capsid consisting of M1 proteins (dark purple). Surrounding the capsid is a viral envelope that has hemagglutinin (violet), neuraminidase (magenta) and M2 proton channels (dark violet) embedded in its lipid bilayer.
