Haemagglutinin flu proteins, artwork
Haemagglutinin flu proteins (red), artwork. Haemagglutinin is a membrane (surface) protein for the infuenza virus. An example is H1N1 flu virus, where H1 stands for haemagglutinin 1. This protein is the most abundant membrane protein of flu viruses. It is a homotrimer, and works as a membrane fusion protein. Haemagglutinin binds to host cells, allowing the flu viruss genetic material to enter them and replicate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate structure of Haemagglutinin flu proteins, represented in a vibrant red hue. Haemagglutinin is a crucial membrane protein found on the surface of influenza viruses, including the well-known H1N1 flu virus. As the most abundant membrane protein in flu viruses, it plays a vital role as a homotrimer and acts as a membrane fusion protein. The mesmerizing illustration depicts how Haemagglutinin binds to host cells, enabling the entry of genetic material from the flu virus for replication. This pivotal step allows us to better understand the mechanisms behind viral infections and devise effective strategies for combating them. With its combination of biology, medicine, chemistry, and structural elements, this artwork beautifully captures both the scientific complexity and artistic appeal of molecular structures. The 3D representation adds depth and realism to this biological macromolecule. This image holds particular significance in virology research as it sheds light on avian bird influenza (H5N1) and other strains that pose significant threats to public health worldwide. By unraveling these molecular details through proteomics studies like this one captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers, scientists can develop targeted therapies or vaccines against these infectious diseases.
