Metabolic enzyme, artwork

Metabolic enzyme. Computer artwork of aconitase (blue), in complex with ferritin messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA, red). Aconitase is involved in the citric acid cycle but here it is performing a secondary function as an iron regulatory protein (IRP). It does this by binding to ferritin mRNA, which prevents translation into the protein product (ferritin). Ferritin acts like a sponge and helps to protect cells from the toxic effects of excess iron

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of metabolic enzymes. The print features a computer-generated image of aconitase, an enzyme involved in the citric acid cycle, but here it assumes an additional role as an iron regulatory protein (IRP). Aconitase is depicted in striking blue hues, forming a complex with ferritin messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) represented in vibrant red. The fusion between aconitase and ferritin mRNA serves as a preventative mechanism against excessive iron levels within cells. By binding to ferritin mRNA, aconitase effectively halts its translation into the protein product known as ferritin. This action is crucial since excess iron can have detrimental effects on cellular reactivity. Ferritin acts like a protective sponge that shields cells from the toxic consequences of surplus iron. Through this mesmerizing illustration, we gain insight into the molecular intricacies underlying biochemical processes such as catalysis and regulation. The artwork not only highlights the beauty inherent in scientific illustrations but also emphasizes the significance of understanding these fundamental biological mechanisms. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic scales, nature's complexity never ceases to amaze us.
