Mouse Mat : Nucleosome molecule
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Nucleosome molecule
Nucleosome molecule, computer model. A nucleosome is a subunit of chromatin, the substance that forms chromosomes. It consists of a short length of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, orange helix) wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins (centre). Here the secondary structure of the proteins is shown. The structure of the nucleosome allows large quantities of DNA, the genetic material, to be packaged into a cells nucleus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a nucleosome molecule, represented here as a computer model. The nucleosome is an essential subunit of chromatin, the substance responsible for forming chromosomes within cells. At its core lies a fascinating arrangement: a short segment of DNA, depicted as an orange helix, elegantly wrapped around eight histone proteins. The image beautifully captures the secondary structure of these proteins, revealing their complex and interwoven nature. As we delve into this mesmerizing molecular world, we gain insight into how the nucleosome enables vast amounts of genetic material to be compactly packaged within a cell's nucleus. With its subtle reflection and shadow play, this photograph not only highlights the scientific significance but also evokes an artistic appreciation for biology at its finest. It serves as a reminder that even in microscopic realms, beauty can be found. From biochemistry to genetics and beyond, this visual masterpiece encapsulates numerous scientific concepts - DNA's double helix structure, molecular models depicting alpha helices and secondary structures - all intricately tied to our understanding of life itself. As captured by Science Photo Library with utmost precision and clarity, this print offers both scientists and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to marvel at the wonders hidden within our biological makeup.
