DNA nucleotides, artwork
DNA nucleotides, computer artwork. Section of a double stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule showing the molecular structure of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bonded together. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone (far left and right) attached to nucleotide bases (centre left and right). There are four bases: adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine, which join together with hydrogen bonds (centre). Thymine always pairs with adenine, and guanine always with cytosine.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of DNA nucleotides in a mesmerizing computer artwork. The image focuses on a section of a double-stranded DNA molecule, revealing the molecular structure of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bonded together. Against a striking black background, this artwork represents the fundamental building blocks of life. DNA is famously known as deoxyribonucleic acid, and it consists of two strands that intertwine to form a remarkable double helix shape. Each strand comprises a sugar-phosphate backbone on both ends, while in the center lie nucleotide bases. These bases include adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine – crucial components responsible for storing genetic information. The image highlights how these nucleotide bases join together through hydrogen bonds at the center. It's important to note that thymine always pairs with adenine while guanine consistently pairs with cytosine – an elegant dance between complementary base pairs. With its meticulous labeling and annotation, this artwork provides valuable insights into biochemistry and genetics. It serves as a reminder of our ever-growing understanding of DNA's complex structure and its vital role in transmitting genetic code from one generation to another. This print from Science Photo Library captures not only scientific knowledge but also artistic brilliance by transforming biological concepts into visually stunning artistry.
