Rous sarcoma virus capsid F006 / 9653
Rous sarcoma virus capsid, molecular model. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. A capsid consists of subunits called 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Rous sarcoma virus capsid, a protein shell that envelops its genetic material. The capsid is composed of numerous self-assembling subunits called capsomeres, which come together to form the spherical shell depicted in this image. With icosahedral symmetry, this elegant structure plays a crucial role in facilitating the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. Against a pristine white background, this illustration highlights the complexity and beauty inherent in biology and virology research. It serves as a powerful visual representation of how viruses interact with their environment and cause diseases or illnesses. The detailed depiction of the molecular model reveals alpha helices and beta sheets that contribute to its tertiary structure. This artwork not only captures scientific accuracy but also showcases the artistic side of microbiology and biochemistry. With implications for medicine and healthcare, understanding viral structures like these aids researchers in developing strategies to combat infections caused by such pathogens. This print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY exemplifies proteomics research by providing valuable insights into the protein shell's composition known as capsomere. Overall, this stunning image invites viewers into the fascinating world of molecular biology while emphasizing both scientific inquiry and aesthetic appreciation for nature's microscopic wonders.
