    Modelo Vírus Do HIV

    The document provides instructions for building a paper model of the HIV capsid at 1 million times magnification. The HIV genome is composed of two strands of RNA that are packaged inside a distinctive cone-shaped capsid, which protects the RNA and delivers it to infected cells. To build the model, cut out the template, fold along white lines, and tape or glue gray flaps together. Add two 3.3 meter strings inside to model the RNA strands. For an extra challenge, assemble without creasing for a rounder model similar to the actual capsid.

    Build a Paper Model of HIV Capsid

    pdb101.rcsb.org

    Viruses come in many shapes and sizes, from simple protein shells filled with RNA or DNA to
    membrane-enveloped particles that rival cells in complexity. HIV (shown on the right) is one of
    these complex viruses, surrounded by a membrane and filled with a diverse collection of viral
    and cellular molecules.
    The genome of HIV, which is composed of two
    strands of RNA, is packaged inside a
    distinctive cone-shaped capsid,
    which protects the RNA and
    delivers it to the cells
    that HIV infects.
