DNA and MECP2 complex, molecular model F006 / 9664
DNA and MECP2 complex. Molecular model of MECP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2 (Rett syndrome)) bound to the BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) gene on a strand of methylated DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, red and blue). MECP2 is a protein that is essential for the normal function of nerve cells (neurons), and a transcriptional repressor that mediates gene silencing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the DNA and MECP2 complex, specifically highlighting the binding between MECP2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2) and the BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) gene on a strand of methylated DNA. The vibrant red and blue colors represent the essential components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which play a fundamental role in genetics. MECP2 is a crucial protein responsible for maintaining normal nerve cell function, particularly within neurons. Acting as a transcriptional repressor, it facilitates gene silencing to regulate various biological processes. This detailed illustration provides valuable insights into how this protein mediates repression at the molecular level. The white background emphasizes the complexity and elegance of this molecular structure, making it visually striking. It serves as an excellent resource for researchers, biologists, and medical professionals involved in studying Rett syndrome or exploring potential therapeutic interventions related to MECP2. With its emphasis on biochemistry and proteomics, this artwork represents cutting-edge research in medicine and biology. By showcasing both alpha helixes and beta sheets that form tertiary structures within proteins like MECP2, it highlights their critical roles in cellular processes such as transcription. Overall, this print from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers an exceptional visual representation of key elements involved in gene regulation through methylation while providing valuable scientific knowledge for healthcare professionals engaged in understanding diseases like Rett syndrome.
