Computer graphic of a DNA molecule from HIV virus
DNA molecule. Computer graphic of a molecule of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). DNA encodes an organisms genetic information. The spherical atoms are colour-coded: phosphorus is orange, oxygen is red, carbon is dark blue, and nitrogen is light blue. DNA is a spiral helix made up of two strands of sugar-phosphate groups which twist around each other. These are connected in the centre by nitrogen-containing nucleotides. The sequence of paired nucleotides makes up the genetic code. This DNA was modelled on DNA produced by the HIV virus after it infects a human cell to make more viruses, causing AIDS.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated graphic of a DNA molecule derived from the HIV virus. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the complex structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), which serves as the carrier of an organism's genetic information. The spherical atoms in this artwork are thoughtfully color-coded, with phosphorus appearing in striking orange, oxygen in vivid red, carbon in deep blue, and nitrogen in light blue. As we gaze at this image, we can observe how DNA takes on a spiral helix shape, composed of two strands made up of sugar-phosphate groups that elegantly intertwine. At the center of this mesmerizing structure lie nitrogen-containing nucleotides that connect both strands together. It is through these paired nucleotides that the genetic code is formed – a sequence responsible for encoding vital biological instructions. It is important to note that this particular DNA model was based on research conducted on HIV-infected human cells. The long terminal repeat region depicted here sheds light on how the virus replicates itself within our bodies, ultimately leading to AIDS. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured not only the beauty but also the scientific significance behind this artwork. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing quest to understand genetics and combat diseases like HIV/AIDS by unraveling nature's most fundamental building blocks – DNA molecules.
