EcoRV restriction enzyme molecule F006 / 9496
EcoRV restriction enzyme. Molecular model of the type II restriction enzyme EcoRV (pink and yellow) bound to a cleaved section of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, red and blue). 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, specifically the F006 / 9496 variant. The molecular model is depicted in vibrant pink and yellow hues, while a section of cleaved DNA is represented in striking red and blue colors. Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in genetic defense mechanisms found within bacteria and archaea. These remarkable enzymes possess the ability to recognize specific nucleotide sequences on DNA strands and precisely cut them at these sites. Type II restriction enzymes like EcoRV are particularly adept at cutting double-stranded DNA. EcoRV is naturally present in certain strains of Escherichia coli bacteria and has been extensively studied through X-ray crystallography data to generate this accurate molecular representation. The enzyme's tertiary structure exhibits distinct alpha helixes and beta sheets that contribute to its functionality. This visually stunning artwork not only highlights the beauty of molecular biology but also emphasizes its significance within various fields such as medicine, genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry. Its detailed portrayal serves as a valuable resource for researchers exploring proteomics, site-specific genetic modifications, or studying bacterial defense mechanisms against viral infections. The print by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers an engaging glimpse into the world of biochemical research while showcasing the elegance hidden within biological structures like EcoRV restriction enzyme molecules.
