Cross section through an influenza virion. It is surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane (light purple) filled with hemagglutinin (purple), neuraminidase (magenta), and a few M2 proteins (small purple proteins). M1 matrix protein (blue) lines the inner side of the membrane. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (red) is bound to the genomic RNA strands (yellow), which a protected in a helical complex with nucleoprotein (orange).
