LAC repressor bound to DNA F006 / 9309
LAC repressor bound to DNA. Molecular model of a LAC (lactose) repressor molecule (pink and turquoise) interacting with bacterial DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, red and blue). The LAC repressor inhibits the expression of genes that code for an enzyme which metabolizes lactose in bacteria. It is only present when lactose levels are low. This ensures that the bacteria only produce machinery used for the uptake and breakdown of lactose, when lactose is actually present

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular dance between a LAC repressor molecule and bacterial DNA. The pink and turquoise LAC repressor molecule elegantly interacts with the red and blue strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), forming a complex that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. The LAC repressor acts as a gatekeeper, inhibiting the expression of genes responsible for metabolizing lactose in bacteria. It is only present when lactose levels are low, ensuring that the bacteria produce machinery for lactose uptake and breakdown only when necessary. The image beautifully captures the structural details of this biochemical interaction. The double helix shape of DNA intertwines with the alpha helices and beta sheets of the LAC repressor, creating an intricate web of molecular connections. This artwork holds significance not just in bacteriology but also in medicine and research. Understanding how proteins like the LAC repressor bind to DNA helps scientists unravel genetic regulation mechanisms, offering insights into diseases, genetics, proteomics, and more. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully crafted this illustration on a white background to highlight every detail. With its cutout design, it stands out as both scientifically accurate and visually striking—a testament to biochemistry's beauty within healthcare and beyond.
