Computer graphic of a human DNA molecule
Human DNA. Computer molecular graphic of human Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). DNA determines a persons hereditary characteristics. This is the more common beta form of DNA, with its two strands winding clockwise around each other when viewed from above to give a helix shape. The atoms are colour-coded: phosphorus is orange, oxygen is red, carbon is dark blue & nitrogen is light blue; hydrogen is white when it occurs singly, but green when two or more are attached to the same atom. The 2 strands are made of sugar-phosphate groups. They are connected by nitrogen-containing nucleotides. The exact sequence of nucleotides determines the genetic code

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated graphic of the intricate human DNA molecule. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is the fundamental building block that determines a person's hereditary characteristics. The image displays the more common beta form of DNA, featuring two strands elegantly coiling around each other in a clockwise direction, forming the iconic helix shape when viewed from above. The atoms within this molecular structure are color-coded to aid comprehension: phosphorus appears in vibrant orange, oxygen in striking red, carbon in deep blue, and nitrogen in light blue. Hydrogen atoms are depicted as white when they occur individually but transform into green when attached to multiple atoms. The two sugar-phosphate groups constitute the backbone of each strand while being connected by nitrogen-containing nucleotides. It is worth noting that the precise sequence of these nucleotides holds paramount importance as it determines our unique genetic code. This awe-inspiring artwork not only highlights the beauty and complexity of human DNA but also serves as a testament to mankind's understanding and advancement in biochemistry and genetics. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel for all enthusiasts who appreciate both artistry and science alike.
