DNA repair protein AlkB with DNA C016 / 0547
DNA repair protein AlkB with DNA. Molecular model of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) repair protein AlkB (blue) bound to a strand of double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA, pink and yellow). AlkB is the bacterial (Escherichia coli) equivalent of similar repair proteins in humans. These repair proteins reverse methylation damage such as that related to 1-methyladenine (1-meA). This DNA methylation process is critical to genetic changes, and defects in the process are thought to cause conditions such as cancer, as well as affect genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of DNA repair protein AlkB bound to a strand of double-stranded DNA. The vibrant colors highlight the interaction between AlkB (depicted in blue) and the DNA molecule (in pink and yellow). AlkB, found in bacteria like Escherichia coli, plays a crucial role as an equivalent repair protein in humans. Its primary function is to reverse methylation damage caused by substances such as 1-methyladenine (1-meA). Methylation is a vital process for genetic changes, but defects can lead to various conditions including cancer. Additionally, it affects genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation. The black background adds depth to this illustration, emphasizing the structural complexity of these biological components. It serves as a reminder that even at the microscopic level, life operates with remarkable precision. This image not only captures the beauty of molecular biology but also highlights its significance in understanding genetic mutations and defects that impact human health. The artwork provides valuable insights into how proteins like AlkB work on a cellular level to maintain our genetic integrity. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this visually striking print combines artistry with scientific accuracy—perfect for anyone interested in biochemistry, genetics, or molecular biology.
