Dengue virus capsid, molecular model F006 / 9455
Dengue virus capsid, molecular model. This virus, transmitted by mosquito bites, causes the tropical disease dengue fever in humans. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. A capsid consists of subunits called capsomeres that self-assemble to form the shell seen here. Here, this shell, approximately spherical in shape, has icosahedral symmetry. One of the functions of the capsid is to aid the transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Dengue virus capsid, a crucial component responsible for enclosing its genetic material. The Dengue virus, transmitted through mosquito bites, is notorious for causing the tropical disease known as dengue fever in humans. The spherical shell depicted here exhibits icosahedral symmetry and is composed of numerous self-assembling capsomeres. These subunits come together to form the protein shell that aids in transmitting the viral genetic material into host cells upon infection. With a white background emphasizing its structural details, this artwork provides valuable insights into virology and biology research. Its significance extends to medicine and healthcare as it sheds light on understanding infections caused by pathogenic viruses like Dengue. The molecular structure visible in this image highlights various elements such as alpha helixes, beta sheets, and tertiary structures that contribute to the overall stability and functionality of the capsid. Such detailed knowledge plays a vital role in proteomics and biochemistry studies related to combating viral diseases. This visually striking representation serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within microscopic pathogens. It stands as a testament to ongoing scientific efforts aimed at unraveling their secrets while offering hope for future breakthroughs in treating illnesses like dengue fever caused by arboviruses such as Dengue virus (DENV).
