Adenovirus particles, artwork C016 / 8965
Adenovirus particles. Computer artwork showing the external protein structure of adenovirus particles. Adenoviruses are the largest viruses not to have a protein coat covering their capsid. The capsid is icosahedral, having 20 triangular faces made up of regular arrangements of hexon capsomeres. Penton capsomeres make up the 12 vertices, with a fibre and knob structure (blue) protruding from each. Inside the capsid is the genetic material (DNA, not shown). Adenoviruses commonly cause infections of the upper respiratory tract and eyes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate external protein structure of adenovirus particles, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. Adenoviruses, known for causing infections in the upper respiratory tract and eyes, stand out as the largest viruses without a protective protein coat enveloping their capsid. The icosahedral shape of their capsid is composed of 20 triangular faces meticulously arranged with hexon capsomeres. At each of the 12 vertices, penton capsomeres form an integral part while exhibiting a remarkable fiber and knob structure in striking blue hues. These protrusions add to the virus's unique appearance and functionality. Although not visible in this artwork, inside the capsid resides its genetic material - DNA. The image captures both the structural complexity and biological significance of adenoviruses with precision. Its polygonal design emphasizes their pathogenic nature within microbiology and virology studies. This stunning visual representation highlights key features such as virion morphology, naked capsids devoid of protein coats, and DNA viruses' distinct characteristics. Created by Russell Kightley from Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), this illustration serves as a valuable resource for researchers delving into adenovirus biology or anyone fascinated by these microscopic entities that impact human health profoundly.
