Adenine-thymine bond, illustration C018 / 0744
Adenine-thymine bond. Illustration showing the hydrogen bonding between the nucleotides adenine (left) and thymine (right). Thymine and adenine are two of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Adenine and thymine always pair together. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that form when a hydrogen atom is bound to a highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, chlorine or oxygen. They only occur over short distances and are easily formed and broken

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the adenine-thymine bond, a fundamental element in DNA's structure. Illuminating the world of molecular biology, this illustration (C018 / 0744) vividly depicts the hydrogen bonding between two nucleotides - adenine on the left and thymine on the right. As essential components of DNA, adenine and thymine are nitrogenous bases that perpetually pair together. This mesmerizing artwork highlights their connection through delicate hydrogen bonds. These bonds form when a hydrogen atom binds to an electronegative element like nitrogen or oxygen, creating weak yet crucial connections within molecules. The green hues in this image add an artistic touch to its scientific significance. The vibrant colors symbolize life itself as they represent macromolecules and genetics coming together harmoniously. Through this visual representation, we gain insight into how these building blocks of life intertwine to create our genetic blueprint. By capturing such a complex biochemical process with stunning clarity, Claudia Stocker from Science Photo Library has provided us with a glimpse into the fascinating world of biochemistry and molecular biology. This extraordinary photograph not only celebrates scientific discovery but also serves as a reminder of nature's elegance at its most microscopic level.
