Photographic Print : Human poliovirus, molecular model
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Human poliovirus, molecular model
Human poliovirus particle. Computer model of the capsid of the human poliovirus. The capsid is a protein coat that encloses the viruss genetic information (genome), stored as RNA (ribonucleic acid). The protruding proteins are receptors, which enable the virus to recognise and bind to a host cell. Poliovirus infects children and causes poliomyelitis, a disease which in severe cases damages the nervous system, leading to paralysis or death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed molecular model of the human poliovirus, providing an insightful glimpse into its intricate structure. The image beautifully captures the virus particle's capsid, which acts as a protective protein coat enclosing its genetic information stored in RNA. These protruding proteins depicted on the surface of the capsid serve as receptors that enable the virus to identify and bind to host cells. The human poliovirus is notorious for infecting children and causing poliomyelitis, a debilitating disease that can lead to paralysis or even death in severe cases. Its ability to damage the nervous system underscores its pathogenic nature. This visual representation sheds light on how this microscopic pathogen interacts with our bodies at a molecular level. With its scientific significance rooted in biology and medicine, this artwork holds immense value within microbiology and virology fields. It serves as a powerful tool for researchers studying infectious diseases, enabling them to delve deeper into understanding this particular viral strain's behavior and mechanisms. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece of work that merges artistry with science seamlessly. This print not only captivates viewers but also educates them about one of humanity's most significant health challenges – polio.
