Artwork of antiviral drug attacking a herpesvirus
Antiviral drug. Abstract illustration of the antiviral drug acyclovir attacking a herpesvirus. Acyclovir acts by specifically interfering with an enzyme in the virus called DNA polymerase, thus preventing viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) replication. The viral DNA is enclosed in a 20- sided icosahedron (yellow and red) made of hexagonal protein subunits. This protein coat, called the capsid, is itself enclosed in a phospholipid membrane envelope, represented here by a sphere. The projections on the envelope are glycoproteins that enable the virus to bind to receptors on the membranes of target host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of an antiviral drug attacking a herpesvirus. The abstract illustration depicts the powerful action of acyclovir, a renowned antiviral medication, as it specifically targets and disrupts an essential enzyme within the virus called DNA polymerase. By doing so, this remarkable drug effectively halts viral DNA replication. The herpesvirus itself is portrayed as a 20-sided icosahedron in vibrant shades of yellow and red, constructed from hexagonal protein subunits. Enclosed within this geometric structure is the viral DNA, crucial for its survival and proliferation. Surrounding the capsid is a phospholipid membrane envelope represented by a spherical shape. This protective layer consists of glycoproteins projecting outwardly to facilitate binding with receptors on target host cells' membranes. Through this visually stunning representation, we gain insight into the complex interplay between viruses and antiviral drugs at a microscopic level. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and educational tool for understanding how acyclovir combats herpes infections. This awe-inspiring artwork was created by Science Photo Library—an exceptional fusion of science and art that captivates our imagination while shedding light on groundbreaking medical advancements in combating infectious diseases like herpes through innovative pharmaceutical interventions such as acyclovir (also known as Zovirax).
