SARS coronavirus, artwork C016 / 3054
SARS coronavirus proteins. Cutaway computer model showing the protein structure of a SARS coronavirus particle (virion). SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is a viral respiratory illness caused by the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV); a single stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid, blue coil) virus. Each SARS-CoV virion is made up of four major structural proteins: nucleocapsid, spike trimer (red), membrane (yellow) and envelope (purple), plus HE haemagglutinin-esterase dimer (orange)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a SARS coronavirus particle, providing a glimpse into the world of virology and molecular biology. Created by RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork titled "SARS coronavirus, artwork C016 / 3054" offers a cutaway computer model that reveals the protein composition of this notorious virus. The SARS-CoV virion is composed of four major structural proteins: nucleocapsid, spike trimer (highlighted in red), membrane (in yellow), and envelope (in purple). Additionally, it features an HE haemagglutinin-esterase dimer in orange. These proteins play crucial roles in the virus's ability to infect host cells and cause severe acute respiratory syndrome. Displayed against a backdrop of blue ribonucleic acid (RNA) coils representing its single-stranded genetic material, this image provides valuable insights into the biochemical makeup and complexity of SARS-CoV. It highlights how macromolecules interact within microorganisms at a molecular level. While capturing both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty, this print serves as a reminder of our ongoing battle against viral diseases. It symbolizes the tireless efforts made by researchers worldwide to understand these microscopic entities better and develop effective countermeasures. Whether you are fascinated by microbiology or simply intrigued by the wonders hidden within nature's smallest creations, this visually stunning piece invites you to explore the fascinating world of viruses through artistry and science combined.
