Summary

Molecular surface of the capsid of human rhinovirus 16, one of the viruses which cause the common cold. Protein spikes are coloured grey for visual clarity. The resemblance to a football (soccer ball) is due to the fact that both posess icosahedral symmetry.

I created this image using the data from entry 1AYM in the Protein Data Bank, and the following free software: Chimera, the free trial of AccuTrans and Anim8or.
