Destruction of DNA helix
Destruction of DNA helix. The computer artwork may represent the breakdown of DNA during an explosion or the destruction of DNA in hot, molten lava. A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two helical strands coiled around the same axis. There are four nucleotide bases that hold the two helical strands in a double helix; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). The sequence of the bases in the molecule forms the genetic code

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the destructive forces acting upon a DNA helix. The computer artwork vividly depicts the disintegration and breakdown of this fundamental biological structure, offering multiple interpretations. It could represent the catastrophic effects of an explosion or even the annihilation of DNA within scorching molten lava. DNA, known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is composed of two helical strands coiled around a central axis. These strands are held together by four nucleotide bases – adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) – forming a double helix structure that carries our genetic code. The intricate sequence of these bases determines our hereditary traits and serves as the blueprint for life itself. However, in this stunning illustration, we witness its destruction unfold before our eyes. The vibrant yellow hues symbolize intense heat while emphasizing the conceptual nature of this image. As we observe the uncoiling and unraveling spiral strands amidst chaos, it becomes evident how fragile and susceptible DNA can be to external forces. Science Photo Library's masterful depiction offers us a glimpse into both molecular biology and biochemistry realms while highlighting genetics' profound significance in understanding life's complexities. This visually striking artwork prompts contemplation on themes such as structural integrity, complementary pairing, base pairs, sugar phosphates, and nucleotides - all essential components contributing to our existence.
