Fine Art Print : Bombyx mori densovirus 1 capsid
Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Bombyx mori densovirus 1 capsid
Bombyx mori densovirus 1 (BmDNV-1), molecular model. This virus infects crustaceans and insects, especially the silkworm (Bombyx mori). 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. The cell mechanisms are then used to produce new virus particles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Bombyx mori densovirus 1 capsid, also known as BmDNV-1. This virus is notorious for infecting crustaceans and insects, with a particular affinity for the silkworm species (Bombyx mori). The capsid, depicted here in stunning detail against a black background, serves as the protective protein shell that encloses the viral genetic material. Composed of self-assembling subunits called capsomeres, this spherical shell exhibits remarkable icosahedral symmetry. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the primary function of the capsid is to facilitate the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. Once inside these cells, complex mechanisms are employed to produce new virus particles. This mesmerizing artwork sheds light on various aspects of virology and biology. It highlights how viruses exploit their structural components to invade host organisms and propagate themselves. With its emphasis on molecular models and macromolecules like proteins, this image underscores the significance of understanding biochemical processes at a microscopic level. While it may seem abstract at first glance, this photograph provides valuable insights into pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses. By unraveling their molecular structures and studying their behavior within different hosts like grasses or insects, scientists can gain crucial knowledge in fields ranging from plant pathology to proteomics.
