Possible Target Against Enterovirus Revealed (1 of 2)

Caption

The architecture of entetrovirus D68 (EV-D68) is shown. The colorful sphere-like object in the middle shows the three-dimensional structure of EV-D68. It is colored by distance away from the center of the object in three-dimension. Lowest regions (closest to the center) are shown blue (sea level) and the highest regions are shown red (like mountains). The black and white background is a transmission electron microscopic image of the EV-D68 virus, which is illustrated by the black sphere-like objects. This material relates to papers that appeared in the Jan. 2, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS.
