Space Effect

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.

HIV-1 capsid protein : A protein essential for assembly of the central conical core of the virus(ID:JL0084)
The nucleotide exchange factor GrpE bound to the ATPase domain of the molecular chaperone DnaK(ID:JL0085)
Molybdate Binding Protein(ID:JL0086)
The Coiled Coil Region (Amino Acids 129-250) of the Tumor Suppressor Protein Adenomatous Polyposis Coli(ID:JL0087)
DNA Topoisomerase I bound to DNA. Topoisomerases I is a protein that promotes the relaxation of DNA superhelical tension by introducing a transient single-stranded break in duplex DNA(ID:JL0088)
Zif268 protein-DNA complex. Zif268 is a very useful model system for studying how transcription factor IIIA-like zinc fingers recognize DNA.(ID:JL0089)
A protein homeodomain-DNA complex(ID:JL0090)
A double-stranded DNA bound by an anticancer drug cisplatin(ID:JL0091)
A protein homeodomain-DNA complex(ID:JL0092)
A transcription factor, Pit-1, bound to DNA. Transcription factor controls the reading of genetic code from DNA.(ID:JL0093)
