Clathrin lattice, molecular model C015 / 6770
Molecular model of a complete clathrin lattice. The polyhedral protein lattice coats eukaryotic cell membranes (vesicles) and coated pits and appears to be involved in protein secretion and membrane trafficking. This protein also occurs in synaptic vesicles. The fibrous protein forms a characteristic polyhedral coat on the surface of coated pits and coated vesicles. Clathrin-coated vesicles are important vehicles of membrane traffic in cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of the Clathrin lattice, an intricate polyhedral protein structure that coats eukaryotic cell membranes and plays a vital role in protein secretion and membrane trafficking. The fibrous nature of this protein forms a distinct coat on the surface of coated pits and vesicles, resembling a mesmerizing lattice pattern. Clathrin-coated vesicles serve as essential vehicles for membrane traffic within cells, facilitating the transportation of crucial molecules. This molecular masterpiece is not limited to cellular transport alone; it also occurs in synaptic vesicles, highlighting its significance in neuronal communication at synapses. The complexity and precision captured in this image are truly awe-inspiring. Each cutout represents an individual component of this remarkable clathrin lattice, meticulously arranged to form polyhedral structures. The vibrant colors bring life to the otherwise invisible world of proteins, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and functionality. As we delve into the intricacies of cellular processes, images like these remind us of the wonders hidden within our own bodies. They provide glimpses into the microscopic realm where proteins orchestrate countless functions necessary for life's existence. This photograph serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic expression—a visual representation that bridges two worlds together seamlessly.
