Today is World AIDS Day.... and here is a representation of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, by the talented Jason Roberts here @ The Doherty. The spherical HIV virion is shown in a milieu of serum proteins. The Capsid ultrastructure can be seen in the interior of the virion in lilac. The Envelope Glycoproteins can be seen as fluorescent Rhodamine-red molecules. The Negative Regulatory Factor molecules are highlighted in Fluorescein-green. Virion accessory molecules are coloured in purples and burgundies. Although the elements for these image compositions have been derived from structural data, they are only artistic representations and not scientific images. Photo: DohertyInstitute/VIDRL/JasonRoberts
