Adenovirus penton base protein F006 / 9542
Adenovirus penton base protein, molecular model. This protein molecule is a subunit called a penton, forming the vertices of the capsid of this adenovirus. This penton base is a polymer consisting of 523 amino acids. The penton is part of the capsid structure that attaches to a cell membrane and aids transmission of the viral genetic material into the host cell. This penton base structure was modelled for human adenovirus 2 (hAd2). There are many types of adenovirus. They commonly cause infections of the upper respiratory tract, causing cold-like symptoms, particularly in children

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Adenovirus penton base protein F006 / 9542. The image portrays a detailed model of this subunit, known as a penton, which forms the vertices of the capsid surrounding the adenovirus. With a white background enhancing its visual appeal, this illustration provides valuable insights into biology and virology research. Comprising 523 amino acids, this polymer plays a crucial role in viral transmission by attaching to cell membranes and facilitating the transfer of genetic material into host cells. It is important to note that this particular model represents human adenovirus 2 (hAd2), one among many types responsible for upper respiratory tract infections commonly observed in children. The photograph's focus on molecular structures like alpha helixes, beta sheets, and tertiary structures highlights their significance in understanding virus behavior at a microscopic level. By delving into proteomics and biochemistry studies, scientists gain deeper insights into pathogenic mechanisms employed by viruses like adenoviruses. With its artistic flair combined with scientific accuracy, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for microbiologists and healthcare professionals seeking to expand their knowledge about these pathogens. This print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY exemplifies how science can be visually stunning while providing essential information for medical advancements and breakthroughs in treating viral infections.
