Human poliovirus, molecular model F006 / 9289
Human poliovirus particle. Molecular 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, offering a glimpse into the intricate structure of this notorious pathogen. The image features the virus's capsid, which acts as a protective protein coat enveloping its genetic information stored in RNA. With a white background emphasizing its complexity, the model highlights the protruding proteins that serve as receptors enabling the virus to recognize and bind to host cells. Poliovirus primarily targets children, causing poliomyelitis—a debilitating disease that can lead to paralysis or even death in severe cases. This medical illustration serves as an invaluable tool for researchers and scientists studying this infectious disease. Its precise depiction aids in understanding how the virus interacts with human cells at a molecular level. The artwork not only sheds light on structural aspects but also emphasizes key elements such as alpha helix and beta sheet formations within the tertiary structure of this viral particle. By unraveling these intricacies, healthcare professionals gain insights into potential treatment strategies and vaccine development against polio. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this scientific marvel through their expertise in biochemistry and proteomics. This print is an indispensable resource for anyone delving into virology research or seeking knowledge about pathogenic microorganisms like poliovirus. It stands as a testament to our ongoing battle against infectious diseases while reminding us of both the fragility and resilience of human health.
