GST enzyme conferring DDT resistance F006 / 9460
GST enzyme. Molecular model of a glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme from the malaria-carrying mosquito Anopheles gambiae. GSTs detoxify foreign substances in the body of the mosquito, and this particular form has evolved to detoxify the pesticide DDT. Consequently, mosquitoes carrying the enzyme will be DDT-resistant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme found in the malaria-carrying mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Against a pristine white background, this stunning illustration highlights the remarkable biology and research behind DDT resistance in mosquitoes. GST enzymes play a crucial role in detoxifying foreign substances within an organism's body. In this case, the GST enzyme depicted has evolved to combat the pesticide DDT, rendering mosquitoes carrying it resistant to its harmful effects. This groundbreaking discovery holds immense significance for medicine and public health as it sheds light on how these disease-carrying insects adapt and survive against chemical interventions. The image portrays a detailed molecular model of the GST enzyme, showcasing its alpha helix and beta sheet structures that contribute to its tertiary structure. The cut-out presentation allows viewers to focus solely on this essential biological molecule with precision. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork merges scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. Its inclusion of proteomics and biochemistry elements emphasizes its relevance within medical research and healthcare advancements. Overall, this visually striking print encapsulates both the beauty and complexity of nature's adaptations while providing valuable insights into combating malaria through understanding mosquito biology at a molecular level.
