Alpha 3 bacteriophage capsid
Alpha 3 bacteriophage capsid, molecular model. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, with the capsid forming the bacteriophage head. A capsid has subunits called capsomeres. This bacteriophage capsid has coat proteins (dark green) and 12 pentameric (5-subunit) spike proteins (light green). The spikes allow the virus to recognise and bind to host cells. The capsid encloses the genetic material of this virus, which occurs in single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) form. One of the capsid functions is to aid transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an Alpha 3 bacteriophage capsid, a molecular model that represents the head of a virus. Bacteriophages are unique viruses that specifically infect bacteria, and their capsids play a crucial role in this process. Comprised of numerous subunits called capsomeres, the coat proteins (dark green) along with 12 pentameric spike proteins (light green) form the outer shell of this bacteriophage capsid. These spikes serve as recognition tools for the virus, allowing it to bind to host cells effectively. Enclosed within this remarkable protein shell is the genetic material of the virus - single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The primary function of this capsid is to facilitate transmission by delivering its viral genetic material into host cells. The black background enhances the visual impact and highlights every detail in this stunning illustration. With its spherical symmetry and complex molecular structure, this image provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology research. This artwork not only captures our attention but also serves as a reminder of how diverse and fascinating life at microscopic levels can be. It exemplifies both beauty and scientific significance while shedding light on important aspects such as protein structures, biomolecules, pathogenicity, and viral genetics.
