Norwalk virus capsid, molecular model F006 / 9372
Norwalk virus capsid, molecular model. This norovirus, which causes a viral form of gastroenteritis, is transmitted from person-to-person or through contaminated food. 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. One of the functions of the capsid is to aid the transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Norwalk virus capsid, a molecular model known as F006/9372. The Norwalk virus is responsible for causing a viral form of gastroenteritis, which can be transmitted through person-to-person contact or contaminated food. In this image, we witness the intricate protein shell that encloses the genetic material of the virus. The capsid, composed of self-assembling subunits called capsomeres, plays a crucial role in aiding the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells. It acts as a protective barrier and facilitates the efficient delivery of its payload to infect susceptible cells. Displayed against a pristine white background, this illustration offers valuable insights into virology and molecular biology research. Its detailed depiction allows us to appreciate both the complexity and elegance of these microscopic structures. With its emphasis on biology and medicine, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for understanding infections and disorders caused by viruses like norovirus. Researchers studying pathogenic agents will find immense value in exploring this molecular model's alpha helixes, beta sheets, tertiary structure, icosahedral shape, and other defining features. Overall, this print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY provides an engaging visual representation that merges artistry with scientific knowledge—a testament to how medical illustrations contribute to our understanding of healthcare advancements in microbiology and biochemistry.
