Adenovirus hexon protein F006 / 9453
Adenovirus hexon protein, molecular model. Hexon proteins are part of the protein coat or shell (capsid) of adenoviruses. In viruses, the capsid encloses the genetic material and in adenoviruses is icosahedral in shape (20-sided). There are 12 hexon trimers on each of the 20 faces of the icosahedral capsid, with nine central hexons and three peripheral ones involved in forming the vertex structures. The total number of hexon trimers is 240. This hexon protein is from human adenovirus 2 (hAd2). Adenoviruses cause infections of the upper respiratory tract, causing cold-like symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Adenovirus hexon protein F006/9453. The hexon proteins, depicted in this stunning illustration, form an essential part of the protein coat or shell (capsid) that encloses the genetic material within adenoviruses. With a distinctive icosahedral shape consisting of 20 sides, each face of the capsid is adorned with 12 hexon trimers. Among these trimers, nine central hexons and three peripheral ones collaborate to create vertex structures. Derived from human adenovirus 2 (hAd2), this particular hexon protein plays a significant role in causing infections of the upper respiratory tract, often manifesting as cold-like symptoms. Its molecular model reveals alpha helix and beta sheet formations along with tertiary structures critical for its function. The white background accentuates every detail of this artwork while emphasizing its scientific significance. This image not only serves as a visual representation but also contributes to ongoing research in virology, biochemistry, and proteomics. It provides valuable insights into understanding viral infections at a molecular level and aids healthcare professionals in developing effective treatments against such disorders.
