Thymine-adenine interaction, artwork C017 / 7368
Thymine-adenine interaction. Computer artwork showing the structure of bound thymine and adenine molecules. Atoms are shown as colour-coded spheres: carbon (green), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue) and oxygen (red), with the bonds between them as rods. Thymine and adenine are two of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which form complementary pairs. The positioning of these bases along the RNA and DNA chains is what produces the genetic code. Thymines complementary base in DNA is adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Thymine-adenine interaction" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of molecular structure. Created by artist Carlos Clarivan, this computer-generated image showcases the bound thymine and adenine molecules found in DNA. The visual representation is both scientifically accurate and visually stunning. Each atom is depicted as a color-coded sphere, with carbon in green, hydrogen in white, nitrogen in blue, and oxygen in red. The bonds between these atoms are elegantly portrayed as rods connecting them. Thymine and adenine are two crucial nitrogenous bases that form complementary pairs within the DNA double helix. Their precise positioning along RNA and DNA chains determines the genetic code that governs all living organisms. In this artwork's black background, the structural beauty of these molecules shines through. It serves as a reminder of how even at an atomic level, nature's design is awe-inspiring. Carlos Clarivan's creation not only captures the essence of biochemical binding but also highlights the significance of these compounds to genetics and biochemistry. This print would be an excellent addition to any scientific enthusiast's collection or for educational purposes.
