Iron-regulatory protein bound to RNA C015 / 6691
Iron-regulatory protein bound to RNA, molecular model. Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1, purple) bound to a short strand of RNA (ribonucleic acid, pink) that includes iron-responsive elements (IREs). Depending on the conformation of IRP1, it can acts as either a regulator of mRNA (messenger RNA) or an enzyme. IRP1 plays a key role in the regulation of human iron metabolism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of an iron-regulatory protein bound to RNA. The image, set against a striking black background, highlights the vital role played by Iron Regulatory Protein 1 (IRP1) in human iron metabolism regulation. In this detailed illustration, IRP1 is depicted in a vibrant purple color while the short strand of RNA appears in a delicate shade of pink. This particular RNA sequence contains iron-responsive elements (IREs), which are crucial for IRP1's function as both a regulator of mRNA and an enzyme. The complexity and versatility of IRP1's conformation can be observed through this molecular model. Depending on its shape, it can either modulate messenger RNA or act as an enzyme within cellular processes related to iron metabolism. With its emphasis on structural and biochemical aspects, this artwork provides valuable insights into the world of molecular biology. It serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic levels, proteins like IRP1 play significant roles in maintaining human health and homeostasis. Created by Laguna Design for Science Photo Library, this stunning visual representation combines artistry with scientific accuracy to deliver an engaging portrayal of biomolecular interactions. Its inclusion within their extensive collection further reinforces their commitment to providing cutting-edge imagery for educational purposes across various fields including biochemistry and proteomics.
