The life cycle of coronavirus

The coronavirus, which broke out in the Chinese city of Wuhan in ۲۰۱۹, quickly spread worldwide and killed many people. This virus belongs to the Coronaviridae family, which has a positive RNA strand and is divided into several genera: alphacoronavirus, betacoronavirus, gammacoronavirus and deltacoronavirus. These viruses usually infect birds and mammals such as bats and humans. Through its S۱ protein, the coronavirus binds to a receptor called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE۲) located on the surface of the lungs and enters the cell to continue its life stages. After the genetic material of the corona enters the host cell, because this genetic material is positive RNA and is precisely the same as the host's RNA, the host cell's translation machine finally translates this RNA.
