Type I topoisomerase bound to DNA C014 / 0883

Type I topoisomerase bound to DNA. Molecular model showing a type I topoisomerase molecule (green) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink and blue). The topoisomerase enzymes assist in uncoiling DNA. DNA is usually stored in a supercoiled form, which must be unravelled before it can be replicated or translated into proteins. Type I topoisomerase changes the linkage in multiples of one, while Type II changes the linkages in steps of two

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between Type I topoisomerase and DNA. The molecular model depicted here exhibits a remarkable sight: a vibrant green Type I topoisomerase molecule firmly bound to a strand of DNA, represented by alternating shades of pink and blue. Against a striking black background, this illustration delves into the fascinating realm of biology. Type I topoisomerases play an essential role in the uncoiling process of DNA. Stored in a supercoiled form, DNA must be unraveled before it can undergo replication or translation into proteins. What makes Type I topoisomerases unique is their ability to change linkages in multiples of one, unlike their counterparts - Type II enzymes - which operate in steps of two. The complexity and biochemical nature of this interaction are beautifully captured within this artwork. It serves as a visual reminder that genetics and biological processes are far from simple; they involve intricate molecules like proteins and nucleic acids working together to unravel the mysteries encoded within our genetic material. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print offers both scientific insight and aesthetic appeal for those fascinated by biochemistry, genetics, or simply the beauty found at the intersection of art and science.
