Restriction enzyme and DNA F006 / 9315

Restriction enzyme and DNA. Molecular model showing an EcoRI endonuclease enzyme (purple and green) bound to a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule (red and blue). EcoRI is an enzyme isolated from strains of E. coli bacteria. It is part of the restriction modification (RM) system used by bacteria to protect themselves from foreign DNA, such as that used by bacteriophage viruses. It is used in molecular biology as a restriction enzyme, that is an enzyme that cuts DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences known as restriction sites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of an EcoRI endonuclease enzyme bound to a DNA molecule. The vibrant colors and detailed model highlight the fascinating world of molecular biology and its crucial role in various scientific fields. EcoRI, derived from strains of E. coli bacteria, is part of the restriction modification system employed by bacteria as a defense mechanism against foreign DNA, including bacteriophage viruses. As a restriction enzyme, EcoRI precisely cuts DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences known as restriction sites. The image emphasizes the importance of this enzyme in research and medicine. Its ability to cleave DNA with accuracy makes it an invaluable tool for scientists studying genetic material and manipulating genes for various purposes such as gene therapy or genetic engineering. The white background provides a clean canvas that allows viewers to focus solely on the complex structure formed by the enzyme and DNA molecule. The alpha helixes, beta sheets, and other tertiary structures are beautifully depicted in this artwork. Overall, this photograph offers both aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. It serves as a reminder of how our understanding of molecules like these has revolutionized fields such as microbiology, biochemistry, proteomics, and healthcare.
