EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule C014 / 2117
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (purple and blue) bound to a DNA molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink and white). Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, recognise specific nucleotide sequences and cut the DNA at these sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and are though to have evolved as a defence against viral infection. Type II restriction enzymes cut double stranded DNA. EcoRV is found in some strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. This structure is based on X-ray crystallography data

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule, C014 / 2117. The molecular model depicts the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV in shades of purple and blue, bound to a DNA molecule represented by pink and white colors. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in recognizing specific nucleotide sequences within DNA and precisely cutting it at these sites. These enzymes have evolved as a defense mechanism against viral infections and are commonly found in bacteria and archaea. EcoRV is one such type II restriction enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA. It is predominantly present in certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria. The detailed structure depicted here is based on X-ray crystallography data, which provides valuable insights into its secondary structure. The artwork beautifully captures the complexity of this biological marvel with its homodimeric arrangement and highlights key features essential for understanding its function. This image not only appeals to biology enthusiasts but also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers studying genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and bacteriology. Ramon Andrade's remarkable illustration on a white background brings forth both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This visually striking piece from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at nature's ingenuity while appreciating the beauty hidden within our microscopic world.
