EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2115
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (purple and blue) bound to a DNA molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink and white). 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 intricate structure of the EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule, specifically the type II restriction enzyme. The vibrant colors highlight its composition, with purple and blue representing the enzyme itself and pink and white symbolizing the DNA molecule it is bound to. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in molecular biology by recognizing specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and cleaving them at these sites. They are naturally found in bacteria and archaea as a defense mechanism against viral infections. EcoRV is one such type II restriction enzyme that can be found in certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. This particular image is based on X-ray crystallography data, which provides an accurate representation of its structure. The artwork not only highlights the beauty of this microscopic world but also serves as a reminder of the complexity and elegance present within biological systems. It offers insights into genetics, site-specific cutting mechanisms, secondary structures, homodimers (two identical subunits), and more. Ramon Andrade's skillful depiction captures both scientific accuracy and artistic flair. This stunning visual representation invites us to appreciate nature's ingenuity while deepening our understanding of biochemistry, microbiology, bacteriology, molecular biology - all encapsulated within this single photograph.
