DNA repair protein AlkB with DNA C016 / 0546

DNA repair protein AlkB with DNA. Molecular model of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) repair protein AlkB (purple) bound to a strand of double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA, red and green). AlkB is the bacterial (Escherichia coli) equivalent of similar repair proteins in humans. These repair proteins reverse methylation damage such as that related to 1-methyladenine (1-meA). This DNA methylation process is critical to genetic changes, and defects in the process are thought to cause conditions such as cancer, as well as affect genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of DNA repair protein AlkB bound to a strand of double-stranded DNA. The vibrant colors highlight the complex interaction between the purple AlkB protein and the red and green ds-DNA strands. AlkB, found in bacteria like Escherichia coli, plays a crucial role in repairing methylation damage caused by 1-methyladenine (1-meA). Methylation is an essential process for genetic changes, but defects in this process can lead to various conditions such as cancer. Additionally, it can impact genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation. The white background emphasizes the structural details of this biological marvel while creating a visually striking contrast. This illustration not only represents biology at its finest but also serves as a reminder of how vital these repair proteins are for maintaining our genetic integrity. As we delve into the world of biochemistry and genetics, images like this provide valuable insights into the inner workings of life itself. The meticulous artwork captures both beauty and complexity simultaneously, making it an ideal addition to any scientific collection or educational resource. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this momentous scene, offering us a glimpse into one aspect of cellular machinery that keeps our DNA intact. With its emphasis on detail and accuracy, this image stands as a testament to their dedication to providing exceptional visual representations within science photography.
