RNA-induced silencing complex F006 / 9586
RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), molecular model. This complex consists of a bacterial argonaute protein (top) bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule (red and blue). RISC is the multiprotein complex responsible for the gene silencing process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This involves one strand of siRNA, used as a template for recognising complementary mRNA (messenger RNA), and an argonaute protein that catalyses the RNA interference process. This complex plays a role in gene regulation and defence against viral infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the RNA-induced silencing complex F006/9586, also known as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The molecular model captures a bacterial argonaute protein bound to a small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule, depicted in vibrant red and blue hues. RISC is a multiprotein complex that plays a crucial role in gene regulation and defense against viral infections through a process called RNA interference (RNAi). At its core, RISC utilizes one strand of siRNA as a template for identifying complementary messenger RNA (mRNA), leading to gene silencing. This remarkable mechanism involves an argonaute protein catalyzing the entire RNA interference process. The alpha helix and beta sheet structures within this complex contribute to its stability and functionality. The significance of this molecular masterpiece extends beyond biology research; it holds immense potential in medicine and healthcare. Understanding the intricacies of RISC opens doors for advancements in proteomics, genetics, and biochemistry. By harnessing its power, scientists can explore new avenues for targeted therapies and disease treatments. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this scientific artwork on a white background with meticulous attention to detail. This visually stunning image serves as both an educational tool for students studying molecular biology or biochemistry and an inspiration for researchers delving into cutting-edge medical discoveries related to gene regulation, viral defense mechanisms, and more.
