RNA-Induced Silencing Complex
RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC). Computer model showing the molecular structure of a bacterial argonaute protein (red) bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule (green and purple, bottom left). RISC is the multiprotein complex responsible for the gene silencing phenomenon known as RNA interference (RNAi). It incorporates one strand of siRNA, which it uses as a template for recognising complementary mRNA (messenger RNA), and an argonaute protein that catalyses the RNA interference process

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a bacterial argonaute protein, depicted in striking red, bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule represented by vibrant green and purple hues. Set against a sleek black background, this stunning artwork delves into the realm of biology and chemistry, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of gene silencing. At its core lies the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC), a multiprotein complex responsible for orchestrating the phenomenon known as RNA interference (RNAi). RISC incorporates one strand of siRNA as its guiding template to recognize complementary messenger RNA (mRNA). The catalytic component within RISC is none other than the argonaute protein itself, which plays an instrumental role in driving the intricate process of RNA interference. The image beautifully captures these elements with precision and artistry. Every atom and chemical bond is meticulously rendered to highlight their structural complexity. This visual masterpiece serves as a testament to our ever-expanding knowledge in bacteriology, biochemistry, genetics, and proteomics. Beyond its scientific significance lies an awe-inspiring reminder of nature's ingenuity. This molecular dance between proteins and nucleic acids holds immense potential for understanding plant defense mechanisms and unlocking new avenues for medical research. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing world at the molecular level, we uncover secrets that may shape our future understanding of life itself. This extraordinary artwork belongs to Science Photo Library—a testament to their commitment in capturing science's beauty through captivating visuals while bridging artistry with cutting-edge research.
