Anthrax protective antigen molecule C014 / 0865
Anthrax protective antigen molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of protective antigen (PA) produced by anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) bacteria. Anthrax employs a suite of three proteins, collectively termed anthrax toxin, that attack target organisms. Protective antigen is the first of these and works by providing a ready-made pore (hole, centre) in its victims cell membrane, through which the other two proteins, edema factor and lethal factor (not shown), can be delivered into the cells interior

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Anthrax protective antigen molecule C014 / 0865. The intricate structure of this molecule, produced by the notorious Bacillus anthracis bacteria, is depicted against a pristine white background. In the realm of biology and medicine, this illustration holds immense significance as it unravels the mechanisms employed by Anthrax to attack its target organisms. Anthrax toxin comprises three proteins collectively known as anthrax toxin, with protective antigen being the first line of offense. This remarkable protein acts as a gateway into victims' cell membranes by creating a pre-formed pore or hole at its center. Through this portal, not visible in this image but equally menacing, two other proteins named edema factor and lethal factor gain access to wreak havoc within the cells' interior. The molecular intricacy portrayed in this artwork sheds light on bacteriology and toxicology research. It serves as an invaluable tool for scientists studying proteomics and biochemistry while unraveling crucial insights into bacterial behavior and pathogenesis. Laguna Design/Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal in this stunning cut-out representation. While appreciating its artistic value, let us acknowledge that commercial use should not be associated with such profound scientific exploration.
