Abstract:

In recent decades, the advent of coronaviruses has engendered multiple large-scale infectious outbreaks, leading to profound human casualties and posing a significant menace to global public health. At the crux of the coronavirus lifecycle, the assembly and release phases emerge as pivotal processes, necessitating meticulous investigation into the underlying mechanisms. This paper systematically expounds upon the intricate assembly and packaging mechanisms intrinsic to coronaviruses, scrutinizes the diverse release pathways employed by these viruses, and delves into the discourse surrounding targeted antiviral drugs. The comprehensive insights encapsulated in this exposition serve as valuable reference points for formulating effective strategies in the prevention and treatment of coronavirus infections.

Key words: coronavirus, structural proteins, packaging signal, liquid-liquid phase separation, release, targeted drug
