Haemagglutinin viral surface protein C015 / 9974
Haemagglutinin viral surface protein. Molecular model of haemagglutinin, a surface protein from the influenza virus, complexed with a neutralising antibody. Haemagglutinins function is to bind to the surface of its target cell and allow the viral genes into the cell, where replication occurs. There are 16 different types of haemagglutinin known, numbered 1-16. H1, H2 and H3 are found in human flu viruses, the rest mainly affect birds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Haemagglutinin viral surface protein C015 / 9974, a key component of the influenza virus. The image depicts a black background that accentuates the detailed surface illustration of this glycoprotein. Haemagglutinin plays a crucial role in viral replication by binding to target cells and facilitating the entry of viral genes into these cells. With its unique shape and composition, Haemagglutinin is classified into 16 different types, numbered from 1 to 16. While H1, H2, and H3 are commonly found in human flu viruses, other types predominantly affect avian species. This molecular model provides valuable insights into the biology and chemistry behind influenza infections. The artwork also features a neutralizing antibody complexed with Haemagglutinin, highlighting its potential as an inhibitor against this harmful virus. By understanding the antigenic properties of this protein and developing compounds that can effectively neutralize it, researchers aim to enhance our immune response against influenza. This stunning visual representation combines elements from biochemistry, medicine, virology, proteomics, and molecular biology. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and beauty inherent in scientific research while offering hope for future advancements in combating infectious diseases like influenza.
