EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2118
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (purple and beige) bound to a DNA molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid, yellow and orange). 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 C014/2118. In this molecular model, the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV is depicted in shades of purple and beige, while it is bound to a DNA molecule represented by vibrant yellow and orange colors. The purpose of restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, is to identify specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and cleave the double-stranded helix at these sites. These enzymes are naturally found in bacteria and archaea, where they have evolved 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. The accuracy of this stunning representation stems from X-ray crystallography data, which provides detailed insights into the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within molecules. The significance of this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its scientific value. It serves as a visual testament to our understanding of molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. By unraveling the complex structures involved in biological processes like DNA cleavage by EcoRV, researchers gain valuable knowledge that can be applied across various fields such as medicine and biotechnology. Ramon Andrade's artwork beautifully captures the essence of this crucial protein-DNA interaction while emphasizing its importance within microbiology and bacteriology realms. This print stands as an exquisite reminder that science can be both visually striking and intellectually stimulating.
