Nodamura virus capsid, molecular model F006 / 9438
Nodamura virus capsid, molecular model. This virus can cause lethal infections in both mammals and insects. 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. The cell mechanisms are then used to produce new virus particles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Nodamura virus capsid, a potent pathogen that can cause deadly infections in both mammals and insects. The capsid, depicted here as a spherical shell with icosahedral symmetry, serves as the protein enclosure for the virus's genetic material. Composed of self-assembling subunits called capsomeres, this structure plays a crucial role in facilitating the transmission of viral DNA or RNA into host cells. The image highlights the significance of understanding viral biology and its impact on human health. Through meticulous research and medical advancements, scientists delve into unraveling complex structures like these to combat infectious diseases effectively. This artwork not only represents an essential tool for studying viruses but also symbolizes our ongoing battle against such microscopic adversaries. With its white background and detailed illustration, this print offers valuable insights into virology, microbiology, and biochemistry. It exemplifies how scientific imagery can bridge gaps between disciplines while aiding healthcare professionals in their quest to develop treatments and preventive measures against harmful pathogens. As we explore this mesmerizing molecular world captured by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance between microbes and their hosts—a dance where knowledge becomes power in safeguarding public health.
