HK97 bacteriophage procapsid
HK97 bacteriophage procapsid. Molecular model showing the structure of the prohead-I procapsid of the HK97 bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, in this case enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli. Prohead-I is a preliminary formation of the phage head capsid, which can be disassembled and reassembled. The capsid is a protein shell that encloses the phages genetic material. This procapsid 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 HK97 bacteriophage procapsid, a preliminary formation of the phage head capsid. The prohead-I procapsid is depicted here in stunning detail, revealing its icosahedral symmetry and protein shell that encloses the viral genetic material. Bacteriophages are fascinating viruses that specifically infect bacteria, targeting enterobacteria like Escherichia coli. The molecular model displayed in this artwork highlights the important role of the capsid in facilitating the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. With its spherical symmetry and well-defined quaternary structure, this procapsid represents a key stage in virus assembly. Created with meticulous attention to detail, this illustration combines elements from biology, virology, and biochemistry to provide a comprehensive visual representation of this complex biological entity. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers studying microbiology or molecular biology and offers insights into protein structures and macromolecules. Displayed against a clean white background, this graphic print stands out as both scientifically accurate and visually striking. Produced by Science Photo Library, renowned for their high-quality scientific imagery, this artwork captures the essence of HK97 bacteriophage procapsids while showcasing their beauty through artistry.
