PTEN — Folded Ribbon Model
Description
The amino acid chain folds into a precise three-dimensional shape, guided entirely by the chemical interactions between its building blocks. This piece renders the final folded ribbon model of PTEN — the structure that carries out its work as a tumor suppressor in the cell.
It is the third and final panel in a series following the central dogma of molecular biology: from DNA sequence, to protein sequence, to folded structure. The ultimate shape and function of every protein is derived entirely from the information written in DNA.
Original pen-plotted artwork. One of a kind.
