EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2116
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 C014/2116. The molecular model, depicted in shades of purple and blue, is seen bound to a DNA molecule represented in pink and white. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, possess the remarkable ability to recognize specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and cleave it at these precise sites. These enzymes are naturally found in bacteria and archaea where they serve as a defense mechanism against viral infections. Type II restriction enzymes like EcoRV have the unique capability to cut double-stranded DNA. In this particular case, EcoRV is derived from certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. The detailed structure portrayed here has been constructed based on X-ray crystallography data, providing scientists with valuable insights into its composition. The artwork beautifully captures the complexity of this biological marvel while highlighting its significance in molecular biology and genetics research. It serves as a visual reminder of how nature's defenses have evolved over time to protect organisms from harmful invaders. Ramon Andrade's skillful depiction not only showcases his artistic talent but also sheds light on the fascinating world of microbiology and biochemistry. This image stands as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our intricate biological systems.
