Self-splicing RNA intron, molecular model F006 / 9527

Self-splicing RNA intron, molecular model. Splicing is the process where a non-coding fragment (intron) of a strand of nucleic acid (DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid; or RNA, ribonucleic acid) is removed. The two sections either side of the intron are called extrons, and are joined together to reform the strand. This splicing is self-organised, and is taking place on an RNA strand. The intron is known as a group I catalytic intron, a self-splicing ribozyme. Also present is small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A (snRNP-A)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a self-splicing RNA intron, revealing the intricate process of splicing in nucleic acids. Splicing refers to the removal of non-coding fragments called introns from DNA or RNA strands, with the remaining sections known as extrons being joined together again. In this image, we witness the remarkable self-organization of splicing taking place on an RNA strand. The highlighted intron is specifically classified as a group I catalytic intron, possessing the ability to self-splice due to its ribozyme nature. Alongside it, we can observe small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A (snRNP-A), which plays a crucial role in facilitating this complex splicing mechanism. Displayed against a pristine white background, this illustration not only captures the beauty and complexity of molecular biology but also represents significant advancements in research and medicine. The detailed depiction allows us to appreciate various elements such as protein structures like alpha helices and beta sheets within the molecule's tertiary structure. With its emphasis on genetics, biochemistry, proteomics, and medical illustrations, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers alike. It provides insight into fundamental biological processes while showcasing cutting-edge scientific discoveries that hold immense potential for future applications in medicine and beyond.
