Bacteriophage DNA packaging motor
Bacteriophage DNA packaging motor, molecular model. Bacteriophages are viruses that only infect bacteria. They enter the host cell (a bacterium) and manipulate the cells machinery to produce all the necessary components for new virus particles, including genetic material (DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). The motor, seen here from three different angles, is positioned at the entrance (base) of the empty virus capsid (protein shell of a virus). Its job is to aid assembly of the new viruses by feeding viral DNA into the empty capsids

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Bacteriophage DNA packaging motor, a crucial component in the replication process of bacteriophages. Bacteriophages are unique viruses that solely target bacteria as their hosts, infiltrating these cells and manipulating their machinery to produce all the necessary elements for new virus particles. In this molecular model captured from three different angles, we witness the motor positioned at the entrance of an empty virus capsid, which serves as a protective protein shell for the virus. The primary role of this motor is to facilitate assembly by efficiently feeding viral DNA into these vacant capsids. The artistry behind this illustration not only highlights its aesthetic appeal but also emphasizes its significance in biology and virology. It represents a breakthrough in our understanding of how viruses operate on a microscopic level, shedding light on their complex mechanisms and interactions with host cells. With its detailed depiction of molecular components such as connectors, proteins, and genetic material (DNA), this image exemplifies the cutting-edge field of molecular biology. By providing scientists with invaluable insights into macromolecular structures and processes like DNA packaging motors, it paves the way for advancements in proteomics research and future discoveries within microbiology. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that transcends commercial use limitations while offering us an awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's extraordinary complexity.
