PTEN — DNA Sequence
Description
Every protein in your body begins as a stretch of DNA — a sequence of four chemical letters (A, T, G, and C) that can be read left to right like a book. This piece renders the DNA sequence that encodes PTEN, a potent tumor suppressor protein with a critical role in human health.
It is the first panel in a three-part series following the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA to RNA to protein. The ultimate shape and function of every protein is derived entirely from the information written in DNA — one of the most elegant principles in all of science.
Original pen-plotted artwork. One of a kind.
