Description
Papilloma viruses are small icosahedral (T=7 symmetry) viruses containing a double stranded DNA genome. Certain species have been implicated in cervical cancer and a vaccine has now been developed against these viruses. In this picture, the translucent bluish outer layer represents the viral pentamer proteins (arranged as an icosahedral capsid). The red inner ball represents the double stranded DNA genome (viral genes).
