Zinc finger-RNA complex
Zinc finger-RNA complex. Computer models of zinc finger protein molecules complexed with RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules. The primary structure of the RNA (pink rods) and the secondary structure of the zinc fingers (alpha-helices, blue and beta-sheets, purple) are shown. Zinc finger domains are found in a number of proteins that act to regulate the activity of RNA. They act as genetic switches, inhibiting or promoting the translation of the RNA into protein. Two modes of bonding to the RNA molecule are shown; either interacting with the backbone of the RNA molecule (left), or recognising specific bases within the molecule (right)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Zinc finger-RNA complex, beautifully illustrating the intricate relationship between zinc finger proteins and RNA molecules. The computer-generated models vividly depict the primary structure of the RNA in pink rods, while the secondary structure of the zinc fingers is represented by alpha-helices in blue and beta-sheets in purple. Zinc finger domains are crucial components found within various proteins that play a pivotal role in regulating RNA activity. Acting as genetic switches, they possess the power to either inhibit or promote the translation of RNA into protein. In this image, we witness two modes of bonding with the RNA molecule: one where they interact with its backbone on the left side, and another where they recognize specific bases within it on the right side. The artwork not only highlights key elements such as sheets, helices, and nucleic acids but also emphasizes their significance in biochemical processes. This molecular model offers valuable insights into how these biological structures function together to control gene expression. Science Photo Library presents this stunning visual representation that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific accuracy. It serves as a reminder of our ever-advancing understanding of genetics and biochemistry through cutting-edge technology like computer modeling.
