Jigsaw Puzzle : Theilers encephalomyelitis virus capsid
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Theilers encephalomyelitis virus capsid
Theilers encephalomyelitis virus capsid, molecular model. This virus, which causes brain and spinal cord inflammation in mice, is used in research. It is named after Max Theiler who discovered it in 1937. 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 structure of Theilers encephalomyelitis virus capsid, a significant breakthrough in virology research. Named after its discoverer Max Theiler, this virus is notorious for causing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord of mice. At the heart of this image lies the capsid, a protein shell that encloses the genetic material within viruses. Composed of self-assembling capsomeres, these subunits come together to form an approximately spherical shell with icosahedral symmetry. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the capsid plays a crucial role in facilitating viral transmission into host cells. Once inside, cellular mechanisms are hijacked to produce new virus particles. The implications of understanding this structural marvel extend far beyond mere aesthetics. Researchers utilize this model virus as a valuable tool for investigating various aspects of biology and disease pathology. Its significance is particularly evident in multiple sclerosis research due to similarities between mouse diseases caused by Theilers encephalomyelitis virus and human multiple sclerosis. This visually striking artwork serves as both an educational resource and an inspiration for scientists delving into microbiology and biochemistry fields alike. By unraveling the secrets held within such macromolecules, we inch closer towards unlocking groundbreaking treatments and preventive measures against pathogenic agents like Theilers encephalomyelitis virus
