Restriction enzyme and DNA C015 / 6941
Restriction enzyme and DNA. Molecular model showing an EcoRI endonuclease enzyme (purple) bound to a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand (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 relationship between a restriction enzyme and DNA. The image features a molecular model, set against a striking black background, depicting an EcoRI endonuclease enzyme (colored in purple) bound to a DNA strand (in blue). EcoRI is an enzyme derived from strains of E. coli bacteria and plays a crucial role in the bacterial defense mechanism known as the restriction modification system. This system acts as a shield against foreign DNA, such as that carried by bacteriophage viruses. In molecular biology, EcoRI serves as a highly specialized tool called a restriction enzyme. It precisely cuts DNA at specific recognition nucleotide sequences referred to as restriction sites. This ability makes it invaluable for genetic research and manipulation. The artwork not only highlights the structural beauty of this biological interaction but also emphasizes its significance in various scientific fields including bacteriology, genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this visually stunning print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the complexity of life at the molecular level while showcasing the intersection of art and science.
