RNA polymerase from Norwalk virus
RNA polymerase enzyme from Norwalk virus, molecular model. This enzyme makes RNA (ribonucleic acid) from the RNA template within the virus, thereby helping the virus replicate itself within a host cell. The Norwalk virus is transmitted via contaminated water and food, and causes vomiting and diarrhoea. In this model, the solid colours represent the secondary structure of the protein (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 RNA polymerase from the Norwalk virus, a key enzyme responsible for viral replication within host cells. The vibrant colors in this illustration represent the secondary structure of the protein, with spiral ribbons indicating alpha helices and arrows denoting beta sheets. Behind this visually striking representation lies a faded tubular structure that represents individual atoms and bonds. The Norwalk virus is primarily transmitted through contaminated water and food, leading to symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Understanding the composition and function of this RNA polymerase enzyme is crucial in combating its effects on human health. This image serves as an invaluable resource for researchers in fields like biology, medicine, chemistry, biochemistry, virology, and microbiology. It provides a detailed visual aid to study the complex interactions between compounds, proteins, molecules, and genetic material within viruses. By unraveling the secrets hidden within these molecular structures using advanced techniques like X-ray crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy, scientists can gain insights into potential targets for antiviral drugs or develop strategies to disrupt viral replication processes effectively. Science Photo Library has once again captured both artistry and scientific significance in one frame with this stunning portrayal of RNA polymerase from Norwalk virus – shedding light on our ongoing battle against infectious diseases at a microscopic level.
