Type II topoisomerase bound to DNA C016 / 2827
Type II topoisomerase bound to DNA, Molecular model of human topoisomerase 2-alpha (blue, a form of type II topoisomerase) forming a complex with a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, green and purple). 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
The captivating print showcases a mesmerizing molecular model of human topoisomerase 2-alpha, also known as Type II topoisomerase. The intricate blue structure represents this vital enzyme that plays a crucial role in DNA manipulation. In this artistic representation, the topoisomerase is seen forming a complex with a strand of DNA depicted in vibrant shades of green and purple. DNA, the blueprint of life, is typically stored in a tightly coiled form called supercoiling. However, before it can be replicated or translated into proteins, it must undergo unraveling. This is where Type II topoisomerases come into play - they assist in uncoiling DNA by changing its linkages in steps of two. The black background enhances the visual impact and draws attention to the structural details highlighted by this stunning illustration. It beautifully captures the complexity and precision involved in genetic packaging at a molecular level. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also holds immense scientific significance. It symbolizes the intricate dance between enzymes and nucleic acids within our cells that ultimately governs our genetic makeup and biological processes.
