Encephalin peptide
Encephalin. Computer molecular graphic of part of a molecule of encephalin, a polypeptide found in the human brain. It has a painkilling effect, and is also thought to affect mood and to stimulate motivation. Encephalin is a small protein molecule made up of five peptides (a pentapeptide). These peptides are in turn made up of amino acids. The atoms (coloured spheres) of the molecule include carbon (yellow) as well as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Produced naturally in the brain and by nerve endings elsewhere in the body, encephalins analgesic (painkilling) effects resemble those of the drugs morphine and codeine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Encephalin peptide, a polypeptide found in the human brain. The computer-generated graphic highlights a section of this small protein molecule composed of five peptides, each consisting of amino acids. The atoms within the molecule are represented by vibrant colored spheres, with carbon (yellow) being prominent alongside hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Encephalin is known for its remarkable painkilling properties that closely resemble those of morphine and codeine. Beyond its analgesic effects, this biochemically significant compound is believed to influence mood and stimulate motivation. Naturally produced in the brain as well as nerve endings throughout the body, encephalins play a crucial role in our central nervous system. The round shape depicted in this artwork symbolizes both unity and complexity within neurology and proteomics research. It serves as a visual representation of how these compounds interact at a microscopic level to alleviate pain while potentially impacting emotional states. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this mesmerizing image that seamlessly combines chemistry with artistry. This print not only celebrates scientific exploration but also invites contemplation on the wonders hidden within our own minds.
