GA bacteriophage capsid F006 / 9341
GA bacteriophage capsid, molecular model. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, with the capsid forming the bacteriophage head. The GA bacteriophage (formally Enterobacteria phage GA) infects enterobacteria. 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 GA bacteriophage capsid F006/9341, a molecular model that represents the intricate structure of this virus. Bacteriophages are fascinating viruses that specifically infect bacteria, and their capsids play a crucial role in this process. The capsid acts as a protective protein shell, enclosing the genetic material of the virus. In this image, we can observe the spherical shape of the capsid with its icosahedral symmetry. The capsid is composed of individual subunits called capsomeres, which self-assemble to form this remarkable shell-like structure. Its primary function is to facilitate the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells during infection. The detailed illustration on a white background provides an excellent visual representation for biology research and medicine-related studies. It offers valuable insights into virology, microbiology, and biochemistry fields by highlighting key features such as alpha helixes and beta sheets within the tertiary structure of proteins. This artwork serves as a powerful tool for scientists and healthcare professionals involved in proteomics or studying various aspects of molecular structures. By understanding how bacteriophages like GA infect enterobacteria through their unique capsids, researchers can develop innovative strategies to combat bacterial infections effectively.
