Jigsaw Puzzle : Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus capsid
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus capsid
Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus capsid, molecular model. Part of the Cypovirus genus and invariably fatal, this insect virus is transmitted by contamination of leaves eaten (examples include silkworms). 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 intricate structure of the Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus capsid, a molecular model that represents a deadly insect virus. Part of the Cypovirus genus, this pathogen is transmitted through contaminated leaves consumed by insects such as silkworms. The capsid, which acts as a protective protein shell enclosing the genetic material of viruses, is composed of self-assembling subunits called capsomeres. In this image, we witness an approximately spherical-shaped shell with icosahedral symmetry. The primary role of the capsid is to facilitate the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. Its significance lies in aiding infection and subsequent replication within these cells. This artwork sheds light on the structural complexity and biological importance of this lethal virus. Displayed against a black background, this illustration serves as a reminder of nature's microscopic wonders and its potential dangers. It delves into realms unseen by our naked eye but crucial for understanding infectious diseases at their core. Through its meticulous depiction, this photograph print from Science Photo Library offers insights into virology and microbiology while highlighting key elements like proteins and biomolecules that play vital roles in disease progression. It serves as both an educational tool for scientists studying pathogens and an artistic representation capturing the beauty found even within deadly microorganisms like Cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus capsids.
