Hepatitis D virus ribozyme complex F006 / 9295
Hepatitis D virus ribozyme complex. Molecular model showing an RNA (ribonucleic acid) strand from an Hepatitis delta (Hepatitis D) virus genomic ribozyme, complexed with a ribonucleoprotein. Ribozymes (ribonucleic acid enzymes) are RNA molecules capable of performing specific biochemical reactions, similar to the action of protein enzymes. The genomic and antigenomic RNA of the Hepatitis D virus contain a sequence of 85 nucleotides that acts as a ribozyme. This ribozyme self-cleaves linear viral RNA into monomers, which are then ligated to form the circular RNA of the mature viral particles (virions)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a Hepatitis D virus ribozyme complex. The image reveals an RNA strand derived from the genomic ribozyme of the Hepatitis delta virus, intricately intertwined with a ribonucleoprotein. Ribozymes, which are RNA molecules capable of catalyzing specific biochemical reactions, function similarly to protein enzymes. The Hepatitis D virus contains a unique sequence of 85 nucleotides that acts as a ribozyme. This remarkable ribozyme possesses the ability to self-cleave linear viral RNA into monomers and subsequently ligate them together to form circular RNA in mature viral particles or virions. Displayed against a pristine white background, this illustration represents groundbreaking research in virology and medicine. It sheds light on the complex mechanisms underlying hepatitis infections and provides valuable insights for potential treatments and therapies. With its meticulous depiction of genetic structures such as alpha helices and beta sheets, this artwork exemplifies the fusion between biology and artistry. Its vibrant colors bring life to the otherwise microscopic world of viruses, making it an invaluable resource for scientific education and understanding. This visually stunning portrayal serves as a reminder that even within minuscule biological entities lies immense complexity waiting to be unraveled by dedicated researchers in their quest for improved healthcare solutions.
