RNA-induced silencing complex F006 / 9502
RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), molecular model. This complex consists of a bacterial argonaute protein bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule (red and blue). RISC is the multiprotein complex responsible for the gene silencing process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This involves one strand of siRNA, used as a template for recognising complementary mRNA (messenger RNA), and an argonaute protein that catalyses the RNA interference process. This complex plays a role in gene regulation and defence against viral infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the RNA-induced silencing complex F006/9502, also known as RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The RISC is a multiprotein complex that plays a crucial role in gene regulation and defense against viral infection through a process called RNA interference (RNAi). The image highlights the bacterial argonaute protein, depicted in vibrant colors, bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule. This siRNA acts as a template for recognizing complementary messenger RNA (mRNA), enabling the RISC to silence specific genes. With its white background and meticulous illustration, this artwork provides an insightful glimpse into the world of biology and medical research. The alpha helix and beta sheet structures within the protein are clearly visible, emphasizing their importance in catalyzing the RNA interference process. As we delve deeper into understanding genetics and proteomics, images like these serve as invaluable tools for scientists and healthcare professionals alike. They shed light on how molecules interact at a microscopic level, offering potential avenues for targeted therapies or disease prevention strategies. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print represents both artistry and scientific precision. It encapsulates years of biochemical research while fueling our curiosity about the wonders hidden within our own genetic makeup.
