Geminivirus particle, artwork C016 / 8975
Geminivirus particle. Computer artwork of a twin-capsid geminivirus particle. The particle consists of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) core (red) surrounded by a protein capsid (yellow). Unusually, the capsid is formed from two incomplete icosahedrons. Geminiviruses cause a number of plant diseases and infect several important crops
