DNA quadruplex, molecular model
DNA quadruplex, molecular model. This dimeric quadruplex of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is thought to form as part of telomeres, the structures at the end of chromosomes that are thought to play a role in ageing. This quadruplex (four-part complex) is formed from an oligonucleotide, a short strand of DNA, held together by hydrogen bonding of its guanine nucleotide bases. Two strands within the DNA are highlighted in pink and green

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a DNA quadruplex, providing a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of genetics. The dimeric quadruplex, formed from an oligonucleotide strand of DNA, is believed to be an essential component of telomeres - the protective structures found at the ends of chromosomes that are thought to influence the aging process. Set against a striking black background, this illustration beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this four-part complex. The highlighted pink and green strands within the DNA add depth and visual interest to the image while emphasizing their significance in forming this unique structure. The graphic representation not only highlights key elements such as guanine nucleotide bases but also emphasizes how hydrogen bonding holds these components together. This structural insight provides valuable knowledge for researchers studying chromatin organization, genetic stability, and potential therapeutic interventions related to telomeres. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It invites viewers into the realm of molecular biology by showcasing one small piece in our vast understanding of life's building blocks – DNA.
