Alanine, molecular model
Alanine. Molecular model of the amino acid alanine. Its chemical formula is C3.H7.N.O3. Atoms are represented as balls and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold), oxygen (red) and nitrogen (dark blue). Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Alanine is a non-essential amino acid. It can be synthesised by the body and so does not need to come from the diet. Alanine plays an important role in the production of urea, the principal form in which mammals excrete nitrogenous compounds from the body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of alanine, a vital amino acid in biochemistry. The intricate structure is beautifully represented with atoms depicted as color-coded balls: carbon in blue, hydrogen in gold, oxygen in red, and nitrogen in dark blue. Alanine's chemical formula C3. H7. N. O3 further emphasizes its composition. Amino acids serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins, making alanine an essential component for their synthesis. Interestingly, unlike some other amino acids, alanine falls under the category of non-essential amino acids. This means that our bodies have the ability to synthesize it internally without relying on dietary sources. Alanine plays a crucial role in urea production - the primary form through which mammals eliminate nitrogenous compounds from their bodies. Its involvement highlights its significance within biochemical processes. The artistic representation of this molecular model truly captures the complexity and elegance of chemistry at a microscopic level. With its meticulous cut-out design resembling ball and stick models commonly used by scientists, this artwork seamlessly combines science and artistry. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how molecules like alanine contribute to our understanding of life's intricacies while also showcasing the beauty found within scientific exploration.
