Fine Art Print : Haemagglutinin viral surface protein
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Haemagglutinin viral surface protein
Haemagglutinin viral surface protein, molecular model. Haemagglutinin is found on the surface of many bacteria and viruses, notably the influenza virus. Its function is to bind to the surface of its target cell and allow the viral genes into the cell, where replication occurs. The protein is composed of three identical sub-units, which have a bulbous head borne on a long stalk. The colours of this molecule show the sub-units, and the head region of each sub-unit has been coloured differently to the stalk. 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, although the H5N1 strain of flu has killed dozens of humans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Haemagglutinin viral surface protein. Found on the surface of various bacteria and viruses, particularly the influenza virus, this protein plays a crucial role in binding to target cells and facilitating viral gene entry for replication. The composition of this protein consists of three identical sub-units with a bulbous head attached to a long stalk. The vibrant colors used in this illustration represent different sub-units, with each head region uniquely colored from its stalk. It is fascinating to note that there are 16 known types of haemagglutinin, numbered 1-16. While H1, H2, and H3 affect human flu viruses primarily, other types mainly impact birds. However, it is important to mention that the H5N1 strain has tragically caused numerous human fatalities. This visually stunning artwork combines elements from biology, medicine, biochemistry, virology, and molecular science into one captivating image. It serves as a reminder of how complex and diverse these compounds are at their core. Displayed by Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing scientific imagery with precision and artistry; this print offers an opportunity for viewers to appreciate the beauty within our biological world while also gaining insight into the vital functions performed by proteins like Haemagglutinin viral surface protein.
