Enterovirus capsid proteins structure C014 / 4896
Enterovirus capsid proteins structure. Computer artwork showing how the four component proteins (VP1 to VP4) of an enterovirus particle (virion) interlock to form the capsid (outer shell). Enteroviruses are a genus of non-enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses associated with several human and mammalian diseases. Each virion is composed of sixty copies of each of the four structural proteins, which surround the RNA genome. The four proteins are known as VP1 (red), VP2 (light grey), VP3 (orange) and VP4 (dark grey)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of Enterovirus capsid proteins, specifically C014/4896. In this computer artwork, we witness how the four essential component proteins (VP1 to VP4) elegantly interlock to form the outer shell or capsid of an enterovirus particle. The enteroviruses belong to a genus of non-enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that are associated with various diseases in humans and mammals. Each virion is composed of sixty copies of these four structural proteins, which envelop and protect the viral RNA genome within. The distinct colors assigned to each protein - VP1 (red), VP2 (light grey), VP3 (orange), and VP4 (dark grey) - aid in visualizing their arrangement within the capsid. This stunning illustration not only highlights the biological significance but also emphasizes the biochemical complexity involved in understanding pathogenic microorganisms like enteroviruses. By unraveling their molecular structures through techniques such as proteomics and molecular biology, scientists gain valuable insights into these pathogens' behavior and potential vulnerabilities. Ramon Andrade's 3DCIENCIA has masterfully captured this virological masterpiece, providing us with a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of molecular structures. This image serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic representation, bridging disciplines for a deeper appreciation of our microscopic adversaries.
