Fine Art Print : B-chain of insulin molecule
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
B-chain of insulin molecule
Insulin. Computer graphic showing a part of the molecule of human insulin. A single insulin mole- cule is made up of two chains of amino acids, the A and B chains, which are held together by di- sulphide bridges. Here, a detail of the B chain is seen. Atoms are spherical and colour-coded: carbon (green), oxygen (red), hydrogen (blue). Atomic bonds drawn as lines show the skeleton of this part of the molecule. Insulin is a hormone which is produced in the pancreas by cells of the Islets of Langerhans. Its function is to regulate blood sugar levels. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood, causing diabetes mellitus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of the B-chain of the insulin molecule, created using computer graphics. Insulin, a vital hormone produced in the pancreas by cells known as Islets of Langerhans, plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. The single insulin molecule consists of two chains of amino acids - the A and B chains - which are interconnected through disulphide bridges. In this image, we observe an intricate part of the molecular structure where atoms are represented as spherical objects with distinct colors: carbon (green), oxygen (red), and hydrogen (blue). The lines connecting these atoms depict the skeleton-like bonds within this section of the molecule. Insufficient production or malfunctioning of insulin can lead to diabetes mellitus, characterized by elevated glucose levels in the bloodstream. Understanding and studying such complex compounds is essential for advancing our knowledge in biochemistry and finding effective treatments for various medical conditions. This visually stunning representation not only highlights the beauty found within chemical structures but also emphasizes their significance in biological processes. It serves as a reminder that science continuously unravels nature's secrets through innovative techniques like computer graphics, enabling us to explore microscopic worlds that would otherwise remain hidden from our eyes.
