Fidget DNA Bacteriophage Articulated

This 3D model features an articulated bacteriophage, a virus that infects bacteria. The design showcases the iconic structure of a bacteriophage, including its head (capsid), and the articulated tail, with a DNA double helix body. fun to play with and to look at

Features:

1. Capsid Head:
   • A geometric, icosahedral structure representing the bacteriophage's protein shell.
   • The capsid contains a fixed, detailed DNA double helix inside.
2. DNA Body:
   • An intertwined double helix structure permanently fixed within the capsid.
   • Provides a visual representation of the genetic material of the virus.
3. Tail:
   • A long, articulated tube extending from the base of the capsid, simulating the bacteriophage’s method of injecting DNA into a host cell.
   • The tail features smooth articulation points for fun movement.
