DNA components, artwork C017 / 7350

DNA components. Computer artwork showing the structure of the two molecules that make up the backbone of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), phosphate (left) and deoxyribose (right). Atoms are represented by colour-coded spheres: carbon (green), oxygen (red), nitrogen (blue), hydrogen (white), with the bonds between them as rods. Within DNA, phosphates and deoxyriboses come together to form the frame or backbone of the molecule. The other components (not shown) of DNA are the four nitrogenous bases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "DNA components" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Created by artist Carlos Clarivan, this computer artwork showcases the backbone of DNA composed of two vital molecules: phosphate and deoxyribose. The image beautifully depicts these molecular components as color-coded spheres, with carbon in green, oxygen in red, nitrogen in blue, and hydrogen in white. The bonds between them are represented as rods, emphasizing their interconnectedness. Within DNA's framework lie its genetic instructions encoded by four nitrogenous bases: cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine. Although not visible in this artwork, these bases play a crucial role in determining our unique genetic makeup. The black background enhances the visual impact of this piece while symbolizing the mysterious nature of genetics. It serves as a reminder that within each tiny molecule lies an immense wealth of biological information that shapes every living organism on Earth. Carlos Clarivan's artistic representation seamlessly merges science and art to create an awe-inspiring portrayal of DNA's molecular structure. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to the remarkable complexity and beauty found within our own genetic code.
