H1N1 flu virus particle, artwork F006 / 9186
H1N1 flu virus particle. Computer artwork of an H1N1 influenza A (flu) virus particle (virion). In the particles lipid envelope (purple) are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. These are used for recognising and binding to the host cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an H1N1 flu virus particle, beautifully portrayed through computer artwork. The vibrant colors and detailed features bring to life the complexity of this pathogenic entity. The image highlights the lipid envelope surrounding the virus particle, depicted in a striking shade of purple. Within this envelope, two types of protein spikes can be observed - haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). These spikes play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus and are responsible for recognizing and binding to host cells. With its white background, this illustration stands out as a representation of extensive research conducted in virology and medicine. It serves as a valuable tool for studying infections caused by influenza A viruses such as H1N1. The presence of various proteins within this molecular structure is evident from alpha helixes to beta sheets, forming its tertiary structure. This detailed model aids scientists in understanding how these proteins function at a molecular level. As we reflect on past epidemics like swine flu that were caused by similar strains, it becomes clear why research into these pathogens is vital for healthcare professionals worldwide. By unraveling their secrets through biochemistry and proteomics studies, we can develop effective strategies to combat future outbreaks. In summary, this remarkable artwork encapsulates both the beauty and danger inherent within viral structures like H1N1 flu particles. Its significance lies not only in scientific exploration but also in our collective pursuit towards safeguarding public health
