DNA recombination, molecular model
DNA recombination. Molecular model of a Holliday Junction, a moving point of contact between two DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helices that have been unravelled into four strands during DNA recombination. This recombination is a natural genetic event and involves the crossing over of the DNA strands to produce two new double helices that are different from the originals. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour coded: carbon and hydrogen (grey), oxygen (red), phosphorous (yellow) and nitrogen (blue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of DNA recombination through a stunning molecular model. The image captures a Holliday Junction, which serves as a dynamic point of contact between two unraveled DNA double helices during this natural genetic event. In this artwork, atoms are represented as colorful spheres, each with its own code: carbon and hydrogen in grey, oxygen in red, phosphorous in yellow, and nitrogen in blue. These vibrant colors bring to life the complex interplay of chemical elements that make up our genetic material. The illustration beautifully depicts the crossing over of DNA strands within the Holliday Junction, resulting in the creation of two new double helices that differ from their original forms. This process involves swapping and combining various compounds at a molecular level. The image also highlights the secondary structure of nucleic acids and provides an insight into how these biological sheets interact with one another. By visually representing the unzipped DNA strands and their subsequent recombining chains, it offers viewers a glimpse into genetics on a microscopic scale. Overall, this remarkable artwork not only showcases scientific accuracy but also exhibits artistic excellence by seamlessly blending biology and chemistry. It is an engaging visual representation of one of nature's most fascinating processes – DNA recombination.
