Picture of amyloid from the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ spike protein, seen using an electron microscope. When the spike protein is mixed with the enzyme neutrophil elastase in test tubes, branched protein fibrils are created, which potentially can cause disturbed blood coagulation in patients with COVID-19.
