DNA polymerase molecule C013 / 7909
DNA polymerase. Molecular model of a molecule of DNA polymerase (blue) replicating a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, pink and turquoise). The secondary structure of the DNA polymerase is shown. DNA polymerases are enzymes that synthesise new strands of DNA from a complementary template strand during DNA replication. This molecule belongs to the Y family of DNA polymerases, which are translesion synthesis polymerases, that is they are able to replicate damaged areas of DNA that stall other DNA polymerases. The replication is not always accurate and can lead to mutagenesis or cancer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a DNA polymerase molecule, specifically the C013/7909 variant. The vibrant blue color represents the DNA polymerase itself, while the pink and turquoise strands symbolize the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) being replicated. The secondary structure of this essential enzyme is beautifully depicted, highlighting its crucial role in DNA replication. DNA polymerases are enzymes responsible for synthesizing new strands of DNA from a complementary template strand during replication. This particular molecule belongs to the Y family of DNA polymerases, known as translesion synthesis polymerases. Unlike other polymerases that stall when encountering damaged areas in DNA, these specialized enzymes can bypass such lesions and continue replication. However, it's important to note that this process is not always accurate and may lead to mutagenesis or even cancer development. Despite its potential risks, understanding how these error-prone Y family DNA polymerases function is vital for comprehending genetic mutations and their implications. Set against a striking black background, this illustration combines artistry with scientific precision to convey both beauty and complexity within biology. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration into molecular structures and their impact on genetics, biochemistry, proteomics, and ultimately our understanding of life itself.
