Glycated haemoglobin molecule C013 / 7780
Glycated haemoglobin molecule. Computer model showing a glucose molecule (centre) bound to a molecule of haemoglobin. The alpha and beta subunits of the haemoglobin are blue and pink, and the iron-containing haem groups are grey. Glycated haemoglobin is formed when glucose in the blood binds to a haemoglobin molecule. It is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a glycated haemoglobin molecule, C013/7780. The computer-generated model vividly depicts a glucose molecule bound to a haemoglobin molecule, with the alpha and beta subunits of the haemoglobin represented in striking blue and pink hues. The iron-containing haem groups are elegantly portrayed in shades of grey. Glycated haemoglobin is formed when glucose in the blood binds to a haemoglobin molecule, serving as an essential marker for identifying average plasma glucose concentration over extended periods. This crucial measurement aids in understanding metabolic processes and monitoring long-term blood sugar levels. The image beautifully captures the complexity of this biochemical interaction within our biology. Haematology enthusiasts will appreciate how this single molecular model encapsulates various aspects such as protein metabolism, oxygen transport through red blood cells, and even protective functions provided by metalloproteins like heme. Ramon Andrade's artwork not only presents scientific information but also serves as an aesthetic masterpiece that merges artistry with biochemistry. It highlights the importance of proteomics and quaternary structures while offering insight into coenzymes' role in oxygen carrying capacity. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply captivated by stunning visuals, this print from Science Photo Library is sure to leave you mesmerized by its intricate details and profound scientific significance.
