Scientists have turned the coronavirus structure into a song that's nearly two hours long

Unlike coronavirus, the song, titled "Viral Counterpoint of the Coronavirus Spike Protein (2019-nCoV)" uses a mix of soothing string instruments to emulate the structure of the virus. A stark contrast to the effects of COVID-19, which has now killed over 70,000 people worldwide.

The track was created by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology using a technique called sonification. Science Mag reports that the scientists assigned a note to every amino acid. They also note that in real life, amino acids are structured like a DNA helix or a sheet, and scientists have translated these features by changing the duration and volume of the notes.

Science Mag also explains that scientists aren't just turning the virus into music for fun - it's actually a research method that allows them to find specific sequences (through music) that could highlight where antibodies or drugs can bind on the virus itself.
