Synthesis Collection (#3)

Neurogenesis, artwork
Neurogenesis. Artwork of an adult brain, revealing neurogenesis (nerve cell synthesis) sites. It was once believed that adult brains could not synthesise new neurons (nerve cells)

Nikolai Zinin, Russian chemist
Nikolai Nikolaevich Zinin (1812-1880), Russian chemist. Zinin worked in the area of organic chemistry, and is remembered for his role in identifying the chemical aminobenzene (aniline)

Lavoisier making water. Historical artwork of the French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743- 1794) conducting his 1783 experiment on water

Aleksandr and Boris Arbuzov, Kazan, 1966
Aleksandr Erminingeldovich Arbuzov (1877-1968, seated, left), and his son Boris Aleksandrovich Arbuzov (1903-1991, standing, right), Soviet chemists

Aleksandr Arbuzov, Soviet organic chemist
Aleksandr Erminingeldovich Arbuzov (1877-1968), Soviet organic chemist. Arbuzov is famous for his work on the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction, a key reaction in the synthesis of organophosphates

Simulated space ice. Light micrograph of vesicles (round structures) in ice formed under conditions simulating those in space

Astrochemistry researcher Dr Max Bernstein in his laboratory, where he simulates conditions found in space. Common molecules such as water

Colour TEM of genetically-altered E. coli bacteria
Genetically-altered bacteria. Coloured Trans- mission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of Escherichia coli bacteria which have been genetically engin- eered to produce human insulin

Ribosomal RNA, molecular model. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the molecule that translates nucleic acids into proteins. It is found in ribosomes, organelles in cells that perform this function

Golgi apparatus, artwork. This structure is an organelle found within eukaryotic cells. It receives proteins and lipids that are synthesised elsewhere on the endoplasmic reticulum

Friedrich Wohler, German chemist
Friedrich Wohler (1800-1882), German chemist. Wohler studied at Heidelberg and then in Stockholm, Sweden. He then worked in Berlin and Kassel

Fatty acid synthase in complex with NADP+. Computer model showing the molecular structure of fatty acid synthase (FAS) complexed with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+)

Coloured TEM of E. coli bacteria dividing
E. Coli bacteria dividing. Transmission electron micrograph of the division zone between two new Escherichia coli bacteria showing the cells undergoing binary fission

"Synthesis: Unveiling the Marvels of Creation" In the realm of biology, synthesis takes center stage as plasma cells orchestrate a symphony of immune responses. Through their intricate dance, these specialized cells produce antibodies that safeguard our bodies from harmful invaders. Under the watchful gaze of a transmission electron microscope (TEM), we witness this mesmerizing process unfold, revealing nature's remarkable ability to defend and heal. Meanwhile, in the realm of artistry, synthesis manifests itself in captivating ways. Collagen synthesis and assembly become an artistic masterpiece as fibers intertwine to form structures that provide strength and resilience to our skin, bones, and tendons. Like skilled painters meticulously crafting their artwork stroke by stroke, our bodies weave together beauty and functionality. As night falls over Tokyo's vibrant skyline, another kind takes place amidst a breathtaking display. The towering Tokyo Skytree becomes a canvas for fireworks bursting with color and light - an ephemeral fusion between man-made spectacle and natural wonder. In those fleeting moments, Japan showcases its mastery in blending tradition with innovation. Beyond biological wonders or artistic endeavors lies yet another facet where synthesis thrives - history captured on canvas. Foster-Brothers' 1894 oil painting immortalizes a poet adorned with laurel leaves leaning against stone; his presence embodies the harmonious union between creativity and wisdom across centuries. Similarly striking is the portrait of a German officer from 1914 - oil strokes capturing both strength and vulnerability within one frame. From microscopic marvels to grand displays in cityscapes or timeless masterpieces on canvas – synthesis permeates every corner of existence. It reminds us that life is not merely about individual elements but rather about how they seamlessly blend together into something greater than themselves – creating harmony out of diversity. So let us embrace this concept wholeheartedly; let us celebrate the power behind synergy as it fuels progress in science, artistry, culture - ultimately shaping humanity's collective journey.
