EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2114
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (white and gold) bound to a cleaved section of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, orange and 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 C014/2114, a type II restriction enzyme found in certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. The molecular model of this enzyme is depicted in white and gold, while the cleaved section of DNA it is bound to appears in vibrant shades of orange and yellow. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in genetic defense mechanisms against viral infections. They possess the remarkable ability to recognize specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and cut the double-stranded molecule at these precise sites. This particular structure is based on X-ray crystallography data, providing an accurate representation of its intricate details. The image highlights the significance of EcoRV as a homodimeric protein involved in site-specific DNA cleavage. Its presence within bacterial and archaeal cells underscores its evolutionary importance for protection against viral invasion. Displayed against a clean white background, this artwork beautifully captures the complex nature of molecular biology and biochemistry. It serves as a visual reminder of the fascinating world that exists at microscopic levels – where proteins interact with DNA to shape life's building blocks. This stunning print by RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers both scientific insight and aesthetic appeal for those interested in microbiology, genetics, or simply appreciating the wonders hidden within our biological systems.
