Methyltransferase and DNA C015 / 5703
Methyltransferase and DNA. Molecular model of the enzyme HhaI methyltransferase (purple) complexed with a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, yellow and green). Methyltransferases are enzymes that catalyse the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) to DNA nucleotides. HhaI methyltransferase catalyses the transfer to cytosine nucleotides. Methylation of the nucleotides modulates gene expression

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the enzyme HhaI methyltransferase in a complex with DNA. The vibrant purple color represents the enzyme, while the yellow and green hues symbolize the DNA molecule. Methyltransferases, like HhaI methyltransferase, play a crucial role in catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups (CH3) to specific nucleotides within DNA. The significance of this process lies in its ability to modulate gene expression by altering the methylation patterns on nucleotides. By adding or removing these methyl groups, gene activity can be regulated, ultimately impacting various biological processes such as development and disease progression. The white background emphasizes the complexity and beauty of this biochemical interaction. This stunning artwork not only highlights key elements related to biology and genetics but also illustrates how proteins and molecules interact at a microscopic level. With its detailed depiction of this molecular complex, this image provides valuable insights into epigenetics, gene silencing mechanisms, and overall genetic regulation. It serves as a visual representation of scientific advancements in understanding how small modifications at a molecular level can have profound effects on larger biological systems. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print is an exceptional piece that seamlessly combines artistry with scientific knowledge to inspire curiosity about our intricate genetic makeup.
