Cre-Lox recombination, molecular model
Cre-Lox recombination. Molecular model of the enzyme CRE (cyclization recombination) recombinase (blue) mediating the recombination of strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink and yellow). It is doing this at a specific target sequence, called the Lox sequence, found in the bacteriophage P1. Cre-Lox recombination is used in genetically modified organisms to allow researchers to control gene expression and delete or insert DNA sequences

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Cre-Lox recombination, a groundbreaking genetic tool used in molecular biology. The image features the enzyme CRE recombinase, depicted in striking blue hues, orchestrating the recombination process between strands of DNA represented by pink and yellow colors. At its core, this technique relies on a specific target sequence called the Lox sequence found within bacteriophage P1. The white background beautifully highlights the complexity and elegance of this biochemical phenomenon. This illustration serves as a visual representation of how researchers can manipulate gene expression and introduce or remove DNA sequences in genetically modified organisms. By harnessing Cre-Lox recombination's power, scientists gain unprecedented control over genetic modifications. The structure portrayed here is not just an artwork; it represents cutting-edge advancements in biotechnology and biochemistry. With its space-filled trimeric design, this molecular model exemplifies the potential for site-specific recombination at a microscopic level. Science Photo Library has once again captured scientific excellence through this print, offering viewers an opportunity to marvel at the wonders of molecular biology while appreciating the immense potential that lies within our understanding of genetics.
