Cytosine-guanine bond, illustration C018 / 0745

Adenine-thymine bond. Illustration showing the hydrogen bonding between the nucleotides cytosine (left) and guanine (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 Cytosine-guanine bond, also known as a hydrogen bond, illustrated in stunning detail. The image beautifully depicts the essential connection between two nucleotides - cytosine on the left and guanine on the right - within DNA's double helix structure. Highlighted against a vibrant green backdrop, this artwork offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of molecular biology and genetics. Adenine-thymine bonds are well-known for their unwavering pairing in DNA, forming an integral part of life's blueprint. Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of these nucleotide pairs. These weak yet vital bonds form when a hydrogen atom binds to nitrogen, chlorine, or oxygen atoms with high electronegativity. Although they occur over short distances and can be easily formed or broken, their significance cannot be overstated. As we delve deeper into biochemistry and macromolecules like DNA and RNA, it becomes clear that understanding these fundamental structures is key to unlocking countless mysteries of life itself. This awe-inspiring illustration serves as both an educational tool for scientists and an artistic representation of nature's complexity. Claudia Stocker from Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this momentous biochemical interaction through her lens. With every glance at this print, one is reminded of how intricately interconnected our world truly is at its most basic level – down to each individual molecule that shapes our existence.
