This molecular illustration shows the membrane-bound proteins involved in the uptake of a virus particle into the cell. Reading from left to right, the arrows show how the proteins pass the virus down the line until it reaches the final protein that will trigger the endocytosis.

This scientific illustration inset (from a larger poster) shows the anatomy of a rotavirus particle. The different capsids that surround the RNA strands are isolated and positioned within a flat, gray virus shape to show their relevant size and position within the complete virus.
