Nucleosome core particle bound to DNA C014 / 0872
Nucleosome core particle bound to DNA. Molecular model showing a nucleosome core particle (green and purple) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, blue and red). A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells, consisting of a segment of DNA wound in sequence around four histone protein cores. The nucleosome core particle consists of 147 base pairs of DNA (seen here) wrapped in left-handed superhelical turns around a histone octamer consisting of 2 copies each of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 (seen here)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a Nucleosome core particle bound to DNA, providing us with an insight into the intricate world of genetic packaging. The image portrays a strand of DNA, represented by vibrant blue and red colors, elegantly intertwined with the nucleosome core particle in green and purple hues. Nucleosomes serve as the fundamental building blocks for organizing DNA within eukaryotic cells. Composed of 147 base pairs of DNA, this compact structure is wrapped around four histone protein cores forming left-handed superhelical turns. The histone octamer consists of two copies each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 proteins. Through this visually striking representation, we can appreciate the complexity and precision involved in maintaining our genetic material's integrity. This artwork not only highlights the beauty inherent in biochemical structures but also underscores their crucial role in biology and medicine. The detailed visualization allows us to delve into the realm where molecules like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) interact with proteins to form these essential complexes. It provides valuable insights into how genes are regulated and expressed within living organisms. By capturing this momentous interaction between DNA and its associated proteins, this print invites us to explore the wonders hidden within our own cells while showcasing the remarkable work done by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY in bringing scientific concepts to life through artistry.
