Hammerhead ribozyme molecule F006 / 9422
Hammerhead ribozyme, molecular model. Ribozymes are RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules that catalyse certain biochemical reactions. Until their discovery in the 1980s, it was thought only proteins had this ability. Most ribozymes catalyse their own cleavage, or that of other RNAs, but some also have roles within ribosomes, the location of protein synthesis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Hammerhead ribozyme molecule, known as F006 / 9422. The molecular model, set against a pristine white background, represents a groundbreaking discovery in the field of biology and research. Ribozymes are RNA molecules that possess the remarkable ability to catalyze specific biochemical reactions. Prior to their identification in the 1980s, this catalytic power was believed to be exclusive to proteins. The Hammerhead ribozyme featured here is renowned for its self-cleaving properties or its capacity to cleave other RNAs. However, it also plays vital roles within ribosomes - the sites where protein synthesis occurs. Its structure is elegantly illustrated through this artwork: alpha helices and beta sheets intertwine with precision, forming a complex tertiary structure. Such molecular models hold immense significance in medicine and biochemistry as they shed light on catalysis and enzymatic processes essential for life itself. This particular illustration serves as an invaluable tool for geneticists, proteomics researchers, and healthcare professionals alike. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this masterpiece of nature's design – a testament to scientific progress and our ever-expanding understanding of the intricate world within us all.
