DNA molecule, artwork C013 / 9974
DNA molecule. Computer artwork showing a double stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone (coloured strip) attached to nucleotide bases (spheres). There are four bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. The bases are joined together by hydrogen bonds (rods, between spheres). DNA contains sections called genes that encode the bodys genetic information

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a DNA molecule, artwork C013 / 9974. The computer-generated image vividly portrays a double-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule, which is the fundamental building block of life. The DNA structure is elegantly twisted into a mesmerizing double helix shape, symbolizing its crucial role in genetic information storage. Each strand of this remarkable molecule consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone, represented by vibrant colored strips that add an artistic touch to the illustration. Attached to this backbone are nucleotide bases depicted as spheres, representing adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine - the four essential bases that form the genetic code. The connection between these bases is beautifully illustrated by delicate hydrogen bonds portrayed as rods linking the spheres together. These bonds play a vital role in maintaining the stability and integrity of DNA's molecular structure. DNA contains genes - distinct sections responsible for encoding our body's genetic information. This artwork emphasizes their significance within the larger context of biological processes and inheritance. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy, this visually striking print captures both scientific complexity and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ongoing exploration into understanding life at its most fundamental level – through biochemistry and genetics – while also showcasing artistry in scientific visualization techniques.
