Viral RNA replication cycle, artwork
Viral RNA replication cycle. Computer artwork showing the three stages of the replication cycle that forms double-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, lower left) from a single strand of RNA (ribonucleic acid, upper right) from a virus. The DNA strands are yellow, while the viral RNA strand is orange. The enzymes carrying out the nucleic acid replication are the coloured symbols down centre. In the first stage, the RNA strand (upper right) is copied by reverse transcriptase to form the double-stranded c-DNA (complementary-DNA, upper left and centre right). In the second stage (centre), ribonuclease H destroys the viral RNA strand. In the third stage (bottom), reverse transcriptase turns the single DNA strand into a double-stranded DNA molecule. This cycle occurs in many viral infections

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Viral RNA Replication Cycle" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the intricate world of molecular biology. The image showcases the three stages of this fascinating replication cycle, revealing the complex process by which double-stranded DNA is formed from a single strand of viral RNA. The vibrant colors used in this illustration bring to life the different components involved in this biochemical dance. The yellow DNA strands contrast with the orange viral RNA strand, while down the center, we see an array of colored symbols representing enzymes responsible for nucleic acid replication. In the first stage, reverse transcriptase diligently copies the RNA strand to create complementary-DNA (c-DNA). This c-DNA is then depicted in both upper left and center right sections. Moving forward to stage two, ribonuclease H enters as a destroyer, eliminating the viral RNA strand. Finally, in stage three at the bottom section of this artwork, reverse transcriptase once again takes charge and transforms a single DNA strand into a magnificent double-stranded DNA molecule. This cycle occurs during various viral infections and plays a crucial role in their replication. Through this stunning visual representation provided by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we gain insight into one of nature's most remarkable processes – reminding us how intricately interconnected biological systems truly are.
