Adenovirus penton base protein
Adenovirus penton base protein, molecular model. This protein molecule is a subunit called a penton, forming the vertices of the capsid of this adenovirus. This penton base is a polymer consisting of 523 amino acids. The penton is part of the capsid structure that attaches to a cell membrane and aids transmission of the viral genetic material into the host cell. This penton base structure was modelled for human adenovirus 2 (hAd2). There are many types of adenovirus. They commonly cause infections of the upper respiratory tract, causing cold-like symptoms, particularly in children

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Adenovirus penton base protein, a vital component of the capsid that envelops this particular adenovirus. The penton base protein, composed of 523 amino acids, forms the vertices or corners of the capsid and plays a crucial role in attaching to host cell membranes during infection. By aiding in the transmission of viral genetic material into host cells, it facilitates the replication and spread of this pathogen. The model depicted here specifically represents human adenovirus 2 (hAd2), one among many types of adenoviruses known to cause infections primarily affecting the upper respiratory tract. Often responsible for cold-like symptoms, especially in children, these viruses can pose significant health risks. In this visually striking illustration against a white background, we are presented with an artistic representation that combines elements from biology and graphic design. The detailed rendering highlights not only the structural complexity but also emphasizes key features such as proteins and biomolecules within this macromolecular assembly. This image serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying virology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and microbiology alike. Its informative nature allows scientists to better understand how these pathogens function at a molecular level while providing an aesthetically pleasing visual experience for those interested in scientific artwork.
