EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Funnel-web spider toxin F006 / 9244, specifically atracotxin-HV1 neurotoxin. The venomous molecule is derived from the Australian funnel-web spider (Hadronyche versuta) and has gained significant attention in biology, research, and medicine due to its potent insecticidal properties. The image features a white background that accentuates the detailed illustration of the toxin's molecular model. Its complex structure consists of alpha helices and beta sheets arranged in a tertiary formation. This cut-out representation allows for a closer examination of this toxic protein at a microscopic level. Scientists have discovered that this neurotoxin functions by inhibiting voltage-gated calcium channels found in insects. By targeting these specific channels, it effectively disrupts their nervous system, making it an effective insecticide. The artwork presented here serves as both an aesthetic marvel and a valuable tool for healthcare professionals studying proteomics and biochemistry. It offers insights into the biological mechanisms behind arachnid toxins while providing crucial information for potential medical applications.
