UVR8 protein molecule C014 / 4912
UVR8 protein molecule. Computer model showing photoreception of UV-B (ultraviolet-B) light rays (top) by a UVR8 protein. The secondary structure (purple ribbons) of UVR8 is shown at bottom. UVR8 is a UV-B-sensing homodimer protein found in plants and possibly other sources. It is responsible for sensing ultraviolet light in the range 280-315 nanometre and initiating the plant stress response

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the UVR8 protein molecule, specifically highlighting its ability to detect and respond to UV-B (ultraviolet-B) light rays. The computer-generated model beautifully illustrates the photoreception process, with the top portion depicting the interaction between the UVR8 protein and UV-B rays. At the bottom, we can observe the secondary structure of UVR8 represented by elegant purple ribbons. UVR8 is a remarkable homodimer protein that exists in plants and potentially other sources. Its primary function revolves around sensing ultraviolet light within a range of 280-315 nanometers, triggering an essential plant stress response mechanism. This critical role makes UVR8 a vital player in botanical biology. The artwork not only captures this intricate molecular structure but also highlights its significance as a biochemical regulator within living organisms. Through proteomics research, scientists have unraveled how this biological compound acts as a photoreceptor for UV-B light, contributing to our understanding of plant physiology. Ramon Andrade's visually stunning representation offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the complexity and beauty found within nature's chemical compounds. It serves as a reminder of how scientific illustrations can bridge artistry with knowledge acquisition in fields such as biochemistry and botany.
