DNA molecule, artwork C013 / 9977
DNA molecule. Computer artwork showing a double stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of a sugar-phosphate backbone (coloured strip) attached to nucleotide bases (spheres). There are four bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. The bases are joined together by hydrogen bonds (rods, between spheres). DNA contains sections called genes that encode the bodys genetic information

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "DNA molecule, artwork C013 / 9977" beautifully captures the intricate structure of a double-stranded DNA molecule. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this computer-generated illustration showcases the fundamental building blocks of life. The image reveals the iconic double helix shape formed by two twisted strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Each strand is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone, depicted as colorful strips, which provide stability to the molecule. Attached to this backbone are nucleotide bases represented as spheres in vibrant hues. Within DNA's genetic code lies its remarkable ability to encode vital information for our bodies. The four bases—adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine—are joined together by hydrogen bonds illustrated as rods connecting the spheres. These base pairs form the language that dictates our genetic traits and characteristics. Genes are specific sections within DNA that carry instructions for various biological processes. They act as blueprints for proteins and play a crucial role in determining an organism's traits and functions. This visually stunning print not only celebrates the elegance of molecular biology but also serves as a reminder of how DNA holds the key to understanding life itself. It encapsulates both artistry and scientific knowledge while inviting us to marvel at nature's incredible complexity on a microscopic level.
