RNA polymerase from rabies virus
RNA polymerase from rabies virus, molecular model. This is a single subunit from an enzyme, involved in the replication of the rabies viruss RNA after it has infected a host cell. The rabies virus is a lyssavirus usually transmitted to humans through dog bites. Humans develop flu- like symptoms, then encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) leading to anxiety, confusion, delirium and death. In this model, solid colours represent the secondary structure of the protein (coils are alpha helices; arrows are beta sheets) and the faded tubular structure behind represents the individual atoms and bonds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of RNA polymerase from the rabies virus. As a single subunit of this enzyme, it plays a crucial role in replicating the viral RNA after infiltrating a host cell. The rabies virus, belonging to the lyssavirus family, is primarily transmitted to humans through dog bites. Once infected, individuals initially experience flu-like symptoms before progressing to encephalitis - inflammation of the brain. This devastating condition leads to anxiety, confusion, delirium, and ultimately death. The image portrays an artistic representation of this vital protein's secondary structure using solid colors; coils symbolize alpha helices while arrows represent beta sheets. Behind these striking features lies a faded tubular structure that represents individual atoms and bonds within the molecule. With its profound implications for various scientific disciplines such as biology, medicine, chemistry, and virology, this illustration encapsulates both the beauty and complexity of biochemistry at play during a viral infection like rabies. It serves as a powerful reminder of how understanding these molecular structures can aid in developing treatments or preventive measures against such deadly diseases.
