EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2112
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (pink) bound to a cleaved section of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, yellow). Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, recognise specific nucleotide sequences and cut the DNA at these sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and are though to have evolved as a defence against viral infection. Type II restriction enzymes cut double stranded DNA. EcoRV is found in some strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. This structure is based on X-ray crystallography data

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014/2112, a type II restriction enzyme found in certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. The image depicts a molecular model of this pink-colored enzyme bound to a cleaved section of DNA, represented by the yellow structure. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in genetic defense mechanisms against viral infections in bacteria and archaea. These enzymes recognize specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and cut the double-stranded molecule at these sites. This process is essential for various biological applications such as gene cloning and DNA manipulation. The intricate details captured in this artwork are based on X-ray crystallography data, providing an accurate representation of the EcoRV enzyme's structure. The white background enhances the clarity and focus on the molecular components involved. This visually stunning print not only highlights the beauty of molecular biology but also serves as a reminder of how nature has evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to protect organisms from harmful pathogens. It exemplifies the intersection between art and science while showcasing key elements such as genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, and crystallography. Ramon Andrade's 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured this scientific marvel with precision and creativity, making it an ideal addition to any collection that appreciates both aesthetic appeal and scientific significance.
