Rhinovirus 14 capsid, molecular model F006 / 9430
Rhinovirus 14 capsid, molecular model. This is human rhinovirus 14. 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 intricate molecular model of Rhinovirus 14 capsid, providing a glimpse into the world of viruses and their impact on human health. Rhinovirus 14 is responsible for causing the common cold, infecting the upper respiratory tract through coughs and sneezes. The focal point of this image is the protein shell known as the capsid, which envelops the viral genetic material. Composed of numerous capsomeres that self-assemble to form a spherical structure with icosahedral symmetry, this capsid plays a crucial role in facilitating the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. Displayed against a pristine white background, this artwork serves as an invaluable tool for research and medicine in understanding virus structures and developing strategies to combat infections. It delves deep into molecular biology, biochemistry, virology, and proteomics to unravel essential insights about pathogens like Rhinovirus 14. The visual representation highlights key features such as alpha helices and beta sheets within its tertiary structure. By studying these elements closely, scientists can gain valuable knowledge about how viruses function at a molecular level. With its meticulous detail and scientific accuracy, this print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers an exceptional resource for microbiologists and healthcare professionals seeking to expand their understanding of rhinoviruses' biological mechanisms.
