Thymine molecule, artwork C017 / 7366
Thymine molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of the nucleobase thymine. Atoms are colour-coded spheres: carbon (green), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), and hydrogen (white), with the bonds between them as rods. Thymine is one of the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which form complementary pairs. Thymines complementary base in DNA is adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a thymine molecule, beautifully illustrated by Carlos Clarivan. The artwork highlights the molecular composition of this nucleobase found in DNA, with each atom represented by color-coded spheres. Carbon atoms are depicted in vibrant green, nitrogen in striking blue, oxygen in bold red, and hydrogen as pristine white spheres. The bonds between these atoms are elegantly portrayed as connecting rods. Thymine is an essential component of DNA and forms complementary pairs with adenine within the double helix structure. However, unlike its presence in DNA, thymine is replaced by uracil in RNA molecules. This stunning visual representation emphasizes the significance of thymine's role in genetic information storage and transmission. The white background enhances the focus on the molecule itself while maintaining a clean aesthetic appeal. With its organic design and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork serves as a testament to both biology and chemistry intertwining seamlessly. Carlos Clarivan's illustration not only captures the essence of this pyrimidine derivative but also encapsulates key elements such as protein synthesis and molecular models associated with nucleic acids. This mesmerizing image provides insight into biochemistry research while simultaneously showcasing the beauty inherent within scientific exploration.
