Cytidine deaminase, molecular model
Cytidine deaminase. Computer model of the enzyme, activation-induced (cytidine) deaminase (AID). The tertiary structures of two protein complexes (purple and green) join to form the quaternary protein structure of AID. AID catalyses the breakdown (deamination) of the amino acid cytidine in RNA (yribonucleic acid), changing it to uridine. AID is a type of apolipoprotein B messenger RNA-editing enzyme catalytic (APOBEC) polypeptide (protein). Different APOBEC members use deamination for various human biological functions. AID is thought to be critical for generating antibodies, crucial to the bodys immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Cytidine deaminase, a vital enzyme known as activation-induced (cytidine) deaminase (AID). The image beautifully illustrates the tertiary structures of two protein complexes, represented in purple and green, merging together to form the quaternary protein structure of AID. Functioning within RNA (ribonucleic acid), this remarkable catalyst facilitates the breakdown process called deamination, specifically targeting cytidine amino acids and transforming them into uridine. As a member of the apolipoprotein B messenger RNA-editing enzyme catalytic (APOBEC) polypeptide family, AID plays an essential role in various biological functions within humans. One crucial function attributed to AID is its involvement in generating antibodies that are fundamental for our body's immune system. This makes it a critical component in immunology research and understanding how our bodies defend against pathogens. The artistic representation presented here combines elements from biology, chemistry, and structural design to create an eye-catching piece of artwork. Through this visual depiction, we gain insight into the complex world of biochemistry and molecular biology. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this scientific marvel with their attention to detail and precision. Their dedication to providing high-quality images for educational purposes shines through once again with this stunning portrayal of Cytidine deaminase's molecular model.
