Haemagglutinin protein subunit F006 / 9479
Haemagglutinin protein subunit. Molecular model of the ectodomain of the haemagglutinin HA(2) subunit. Haemagglutinin is a surface protein from the influenza A virus. Haemagglutinins function is to bind to the surface of its target cell and allow the viral genes into the cell, where replication occurs. There are 16 different types of haemagglutinin known, numbered 1-16. H1, H2 and H3 are found in human flu viruses, the rest mainly affect birds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Haemagglutinin protein subunit F006 / 9479. The image, set against a pristine white background, highlights the detailed surface illustration of this crucial protein found in the influenza A virus. Haemagglutinin plays a vital role in viral replication by binding to target cells and facilitating the entry of viral genes into these cells. With 16 known types, numbered from 1 to 16, H1, H2, and H3 are commonly associated with human flu viruses while others primarily affect birds. The molecular model depicted in this artwork provides valuable insights into its composition and function. It reveals alpha helixes and beta sheets that contribute to its tertiary structure. This glycoprotein acts as an antigenic compound triggering immune responses within our bodies. Scientists utilize such models for research purposes in medicine and virology to better understand influenza's mechanisms and develop potential inhibitors or neutralizing antibodies against it. The precision-cutout design enhances focus on the haemagglutinin subunits' complexity while emphasizing their significance within microbiology and biochemistry fields. This stunning visual representation serves as a reminder of how scientific illustrations can bridge artistry with medical knowledge, offering us a glimpse into the fascinating world of proteins at a microscopic level.
