Methyltransferase and DNA C015 / 5704
Methyltransferase and DNA. Molecular model of the enzyme HhaI methyltransferase (purple) complexed with a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, orange and green). Methyltransferases are enzymes that catalyse the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) to DNA nucleotides. HhaI methyltransferase catalyses the transfer to cytosine nucleotides. Methylation of the nucleotides modulates gene expression

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular dance between Methyltransferase and DNA. In this stunning illustration, we witness the complex relationship between the enzyme HhaI methyltransferase (depicted in regal purple) and a single strand of DNA (vividly colored in orange and green). Methyltransferases are remarkable enzymes that play a crucial role in gene regulation by catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) to specific nucleotides within our DNA. The HhaI methyltransferase, specifically, targets cytosine nucleotides for methylation. This process of methylation acts as a powerful modulator of gene expression. The black background serves as a canvas for this mesmerizing artwork, allowing us to focus solely on the intricate structure before us. Every detail has been meticulously captured, showcasing both the beauty and complexity found within biological systems. As we delve into this image, we are reminded of the profound impact that epigenetics has on our understanding of genetics and proteomics. Through gene silencing and modulation facilitated by methylation patterns, these biochemical processes shape our very existence. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's masterful creation invites us into a world where science meets artistry. It is an awe-inspiring testament to human ingenuity as we unravel nature's secrets at its most fundamental level – one molecule at a time.
