Human rhinovirus capsid proteins
Human rhinovirus capsid proteins, molecular model. These are proteins from the capsid (outer protein coat) of rhinovirus 14. Rhinoviruses are responsible for causing about 50% of common colds. Their capsids are formed of four proteins arranged in an icosahedral structure. In this model, the solid colours represent the secondary structure of the proteins (spiral ribbons are alpha helices; arrows are beta sheets), and the faded tubular structure behind represents the individual atoms and bonds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Human rhinovirus capsid proteins, specifically those from rhinovirus 14. These proteins form the outer protein coat, known as the capsid, of this common cold-causing virus. Rhinoviruses are notorious for being responsible for approximately 50% of all cases of the common cold. The image depicts a mesmerizing icosahedral arrangement composed of four different proteins that make up the capsid. The solid colors represent the secondary structure of these proteins; spiral ribbons symbolize alpha helices, while arrows indicate beta sheets. Behind this vibrant representation lies a faded tubular structure that represents individual atoms and bonds. With its fusion of artistry and scientific precision, this illustration provides valuable insights into biochemistry and virology. It serves as a powerful tool in understanding how viruses interact with our bodies at a molecular level. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both the beauty and complexity inherent in this microscopic world. This print is not just an aesthetic marvel but also an invaluable resource for researchers in medicine, biology, chemistry, and microbiology seeking to unravel the secrets behind viral infections like rhinovirus-induced common colds.
