Human poliovirus, molecular model F006 / 9434
Human poliovirus particle. Molecular model of the capsid of the human poliovirus. The capsid is a protein coat that encloses the viruss genetic information (genome), stored as RNA (ribonucleic acid). The protruding proteins are receptors, which enable the virus to recognise and bind to a host cell. Poliovirus infects children and causes poliomyelitis, a disease which in severe cases damages the nervous system, leading to paralysis or death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the human poliovirus, known as F006 / 9434. The image beautifully captures the structure of the virus's capsid, a protective protein coat that houses its genetic information in the form of RNA. With a white background highlighting its surface details, this illustration provides valuable insights into the biology and research surrounding this infectious pathogen. The protruding proteins on the capsid act as receptors, enabling the virus to recognize and bind to host cells. This crucial interaction is what allows poliovirus to infect children and cause poliomyelitis, a disease that can have severe consequences for those affected. In some cases, it leads to damage in their nervous system, resulting in paralysis or even death. With its emphasis on structural intricacies and medical relevance, this print serves as an invaluable resource for scientists studying viruses and healthcare professionals working towards better understanding and combating infectious diseases like polio. Its detailed depiction offers a glimpse into both biochemical and microbiological aspects associated with viral infections. Overall, LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured not only scientific accuracy but also artistic beauty within this image – making it an ideal addition to any collection focused on biochemistry, virology or medical illustration.
