Rhinovirus 16 capsid, molecular model F006 / 9431
Rhinovirus 16 capsid, molecular model. This is human rhinovirus 16. The rhinovirus infects the upper respiratory tract and is the cause of the common cold. It is spread by coughs and sneezes. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. A capsids subunits are capsomeres that self-assemble to form the shell seen here. Here, this shell, approximately spherical in shape, has icosahedral symmetry. One of the functions of the capsid is to aid the transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells. The cell mechanisms are then used to produce new virus particles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of Rhinovirus 16 capsid, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of viruses. Rhinovirus 16 is responsible for infecting the upper respiratory tract and causing the common cold, making it a familiar foe to many. The image depicts the protein shell known as the capsid, which envelops the genetic material of the virus. Composed of smaller units called capsomeres, this spherical shell exhibits icosahedral symmetry. Beyond its structural role, the capsid plays a crucial part in facilitating viral transmission into host cells. In this artwork against a white background, we witness an amalgamation of scientific research and artistic representation. The detailed molecular structure reveals alpha helices and beta sheets that contribute to its tertiary structure. This visual insight aids our understanding of how rhinoviruses function on a microscopic level. With its emphasis on biology and medicine, this print serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying pathogenic microbes like rhinoviruses. It highlights key elements such as virology, proteomics, and biochemistry while shedding light on healthcare implications. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are reminded not only of our vulnerability to illnesses but also of humanity's relentless pursuit to comprehend these invisible adversaries in order to develop effective treatments and preventive measures.
