TFAM transcription factor bound to DNA C015 / 7059
TFAM transcription factor bound to DNA, molecular model. Human mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM, green) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, blue and pink). TFAM plays a vital role in the activation of transcription in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It also plays a role in mtDNA packaging and maintenance. It does this by binding to and bending the DNA, as shown here. Mitochondria are organelles that generate energy within cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular interaction between TFAM transcription factor and DNA, shedding light on the vital role it plays in mitochondrial biology. The image features a stunning molecular model where human mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is depicted in vibrant green, elegantly bound to a strand of DNA represented by shades of blue and pink. TFAM is an essential player in activating transcription within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), but its functions extend beyond that. It also contributes to mtDNA packaging and maintenance, as demonstrated by its ability to bind to and bend the DNA structure showcased here. This unique bending mechanism highlights TFAM's crucial involvement in ensuring proper organization and stability within mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for generating energy within cells, making them indispensable powerhouses for cellular function. Understanding the intricate workings of molecules like TFAM provides valuable insights into how these organelles operate at a molecular level. The white background accentuates the elegance of this illustration while emphasizing its scientific significance. With elements such as biology, genetics, metabolism, proteins, and macromolecules intricately intertwined within this artwork, it serves as a visual testament to the complexity of life's building blocks. This remarkable image from LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY encapsulates both beauty and knowledge in one frame – an exquisite portrayal of biological processes at their finest.
