Ring Shaped Proteins

These artworks are based on the 3D structure of protein and DNA. The artist’s intention is to convey the wonders of genes, and to express our feelings towards nature, civilization and diseases.

Each artwork is accompanied by a music generated from the sequence of the same protein based on a multitude of amino acid properties. The music is automatically played when you click each individual image.

Human Pcna : A DNA binding protein mediating DNA replication(ID:JL0022)
GTP Cyclohydrolase I : An enzyme that hydrolyzes the imidazole ring of GTP(ID:JL0023)
Connector Protein : A protein that packages DNA into a precursor capsid(ID:JL0024)
Outer Protein Yopm : An effector protein that enable the bacteria to evade immune response by modulating host-cell functions(ID:JL0025)
Outer Protein Yopm : An effector protein that enable the bacteria to evade immune response by modulating host-cell functions(ID:JL0026)
Trp RNA-Binding Attenuation Protein : An RNA binding protein that regulates the expression of the tryptophan biosynthetic genes(ID:JL0027)
Ribonuclease Inhibitor - Ribonuclease A Complex : The first protein regulates the activity of the second protein which hydrolyzes RNA by cleaving its phosphodiester bond.(ID:JL0028)
