Computer graphic of deformity in a DNA molecule
Deformed DNA molecule. Computer-generated model of a segment of the molecule Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), showing a deformity in its shape. DNA forms a natural double-helix shape. At upper centre (yellow/green) this form is unusually twisted. DNA is made up of two sugar-phosphate backbones (long ribbons) from which the nucleotide bases project inwards. It is the sequence of these bases that forms the genetic code. A mutation of one of the yellow nucleotides, or physical damage to the DNA (such as induced by ultraviolet light), may be the cause of this deformity. It may result in a genetic disorder which can have far reaching effects, including genetic disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of a segment of the iconic Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) molecule, revealing an intriguing deformity in its shape. DNA, known for its natural double-helix structure, takes on an unusually twisted form at the upper center, depicted by vibrant yellow and green hues. The two sugar-phosphate backbones stretch out like long ribbons while the nucleotide bases project inwardly. It is through the sequence of these bases that the genetic code is formed. The cause behind this deformity can be attributed to either a mutation in one of the yellow nucleotides or physical damage inflicted upon the DNA, possibly induced by ultraviolet light exposure. Such alterations have profound implications as they may lead to genetic disorders with far-reaching effects on living organisms. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights the fragility and complexity of our genetic makeup but also underscores how even slight changes within our DNA can result in significant consequences. As scientists delve deeper into fields such as genetic engineering and biotechnology, understanding these molecular graphics becomes crucial for unraveling mysteries surrounding genetics and combating various gene defects. Captured by Science Photo Library, this mesmerizing image serves as a reminder that every twist and turn within our DNA holds immense potential for both discovery and disruption in biological systems.
