Type I topoisomerase bound to DNA F006 / 9221
Type I topoisomerase bound to DNA. Molecular model showing a type I topoisomerase molecule (khaki) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, red and blue). The topoisomerase enzymes assist in uncoiling DNA. DNA is usually stored in a supercoiled form, which must be unravelled before it can be replicated or translated into proteins. Type I topoisomerase changes the linkage in multiples of one, while Type II changes the linkages in steps of two

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between Type I topoisomerase and DNA. The molecular model depicted here highlights a khaki-colored Type I topoisomerase molecule bound to a strand of DNA, represented by vibrant red and blue hues. As an essential enzyme, Type I topoisomerases play a crucial role in uncoiling DNA, which is typically stored in a supercoiled form. The complex interaction between these two entities is beautifully captured in this illustration against a pristine white background. With its detailed structure and precise cutouts, the image serves as an invaluable tool for researchers and scientists delving into the realms of biology, medicine, genetics, and biochemistry. The significance of unraveling DNA cannot be overstated; it is necessary for replication or translation into proteins. Unlike their counterparts (Type II topoisomerases), Type I enzymes change linkages in multiples of one rather than two steps. This unique characteristic adds another layer of complexity to understanding the intricacies of genetic material. As we delve deeper into proteomics and explore the tertiary structures within molecules like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), images like this provide valuable insights into their composition. The alpha helixes, beta sheets, nucleic acids - all come together to create this mesmerizing molecular structure that holds immense potential for advancements in healthcare and medical research.
