Thymine molecule, artwork C017 / 7365

Thymine molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of the nucleobase thymine. Atoms are colour-coded spheres: carbon (green), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), and hydrogen (white), with the bonds between them as rods. Thymine is one of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which form complementary pairs. Thymines complementary base in DNA is adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a thymine molecule, a vital component of DNA. Created through computer artwork, this image vividly displays the structure of thymine with its atoms represented as color-coded spheres and bonds depicted as rods. The carbon atoms are portrayed in vibrant green, nitrogen in striking blue, oxygen in bold red, and hydrogen in pure white. Thymine is one of the four nitrogenous bases found within DNA molecules and plays a crucial role in genetic information storage. In DNA's double helix structure, thymine pairs exclusively with adenine to form complementary base pairs that maintain the stability and integrity of our genetic code. Interestingly, while thymine is present in DNA, it is replaced by uracil in RNA molecules during protein synthesis. This substitution allows for greater flexibility and versatility within RNA's functions. The black background adds depth to this organic illustration while emphasizing the molecular intricacies at play. With its scientific significance rooted firmly within biology and chemistry realms, this artwork serves as a visual testament to the wonders of life on a microscopic scale. Carlos Clarivan has masterfully captured the essence of this essential molecule through his artistic representation. This print not only appeals to scientists studying genetics but also captivates anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world hidden within our cells' building blocks.
