Click on each to see another striking photo from the first single volume to chart the entire genetic revolution. 1. The many faces of DNA 2. 3-D structure of a cellular protein factory 3. How DNA becomes protein 4. A mass producing DNA lab 5. 3-D structure of a cancer causing protein 6. Cell division 7. How genetic fingerprinting works Plus, From the Author: 14 Strong Opininons On DNA   5. Proteomics: the 3-D structure of a cancer-causing protein, BCR-ABL. The protein does not occur naturally but is produced by the fusion of two genes caused by a chromosomal abnormality. The BCR-ABL protein stimulates cell proliferation and may cause a form of leukemia. Shown in purple is a small molecule drug, Gleevec, which inhibits BCR-ABL function. It is with 3-D information like this that drugs will in future be designed to target particular proteins. The computer model of BCR-ABL's structure does not show the details of the atoms or individula amino acids, but nevertheless accurately reflects the protein's lay-out.   Onto the next photo >>
