Methyltransferase complexed with DNA C016 / 2033
Methyltransferase complexed with DNA, molecular model. The strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, green and blue) is enclosed by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT-1, green and pink). This enzyme acts to add methyl groups to the DNA, a process called DNA methylation, which can silence and regulate genes without changing the genetic sequence. DNA methylation is also being studied in relation to cancer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a Methyltransferase complexed with DNA C016/2033. The image portrays a fascinating interplay between the DNA strand, depicted in shades of green and blue, and the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT-1) enzyme, represented by vibrant hues of green and pink. DNMT-1 plays a crucial role in DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification process that can regulate genes without altering their genetic sequence. The black background enhances the visual impact of this illustration, allowing us to focus on the bound complex's structural details. This artwork provides valuable insights into biochemical processes involved in gene silencing and regulation. DNA methylation is not only significant for understanding fundamental biological mechanisms but also holds immense potential for cancer research. Scientists are actively studying how alterations in DNA methylation patterns may contribute to oncogenesis or serve as diagnostic markers for various cancers. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this graphic representation beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of molecular biology. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration into genetics, proteomics, and epigenetics – fields that continue to unravel nature's secrets at a microscopic level.
