RNA silencing molecule C015 / 7696
RNA silencing. Molecular model of a synthetic double stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule. RNA is the intermediate molecule between DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and its protein products. Some viruses have RNA genomes as opposed to DNA genomes. RNA silencing is the degradation of targeted RNA molecules to regulate gene expression or as an antiviral defence. Double-stranded molecules of the targeted RNA are processed into short single-stranded molecules called small interfering (si) RNAs. These siRNAs recognise and bind to complementary RNA molecules, which are then cleaved to make them inactive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of RNA silencing molecule C015/7696, a synthetic double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule. Acting as an intermediary between DNA and protein products, RNA plays a crucial role in gene expression regulation. While most organisms possess DNA genomes, certain viruses have RNA genomes instead. RNA silencing is a fascinating biological process that involves degrading specific targeted RNA molecules to control gene expression or serve as an antiviral defense mechanism. In this process, double-stranded targeted RNA molecules are transformed into short single-stranded molecules known as small interfering (si) RNAs. These siRNAs recognize and bind to complementary RNA molecules, leading to their cleavage and subsequent inactivation. The white background of the illustration allows for clear visibility of the molecular model's complexity and elegance. This man-made representation provides valuable insights into the biochemical mechanisms underlying gene regulation and defense against viral infections. With its cut-out design, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of biochemistry and genetics research. It serves as a reminder of our continuous exploration into understanding nucleic acids like RNA and their vital roles in various biological processes.
