Lambda repressor-operator complex
Lambda repressor-operator complex. Molecular model of the lambda repressor protein (red and green) binding to a region of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, orange and blue) known as the lambda operator. The DNA and protein are both from the lambda phage, a bacterial virus (bacteriophage) that infects the Escherichia coli bacterium. The repressor protein acts to turn off transcription, and plays a role in regulating the life cycle of the lambda phage

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lambda repressor-operator complex, a vital molecular model in biology. The image beautifully captures the intricate binding between the lambda repressor protein and a specific region of DNA known as the lambda operator. With a black background that accentuates its structural details, this illustration provides an insightful glimpse into the world of bacteriology. The red and green colors represent the lambda repressor protein, while orange and blue depict the DNA strands. Both components are derived from the lambda phage, a bacterial virus responsible for infecting Escherichia coli bacteria. The role of this repressor protein is to regulate transcription by turning it off, thereby playing a crucial part in controlling the life cycle of the lambda phage. With its focus on genetic regulation and molecular structure, this artwork offers valuable insights into microbiology and virology. It emphasizes how proteins interact with DNA molecules at a macromolecular level, shedding light on essential biological processes such as transcription and genetics. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually stunning representation of biochemical complexity through their meticulous cut-out technique. This print serves as both an educational tool for scientists studying biomolecules and an aesthetically pleasing piece for those fascinated by scientific artistry.
