Iron-hydrogenase molecule

Iron-hydrogenase molecule. Computer model showing the molecular structure of an iron-hydrogenase ([FE]-hydrogenase) enzyme from the Methanocaldococcus jannaschii archaeon. Hydrogenase enzymes catalyse the reversible oxidation of hydrogen and play a vital role in anaerobic metabolism. [FE]-hydrogenases contain iron (Fe) at their active site. Archaea are a group of single-celled microorganisms that are similar to, but evolutionarily distinct from bacteria

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of an iron-hydrogenase enzyme found in the Methanocaldococcus jannaschii archaeon. The computer-generated model, set against a striking black background, highlights the complexity and beauty of this essential biological component. Iron-hydrogenases are enzymes that play a crucial role in anaerobic metabolism by catalyzing the reversible oxidation of hydrogen. This particular [FE]-hydrogenase contains iron (Fe) at its active site, making it especially significant for understanding biochemical processes. The image provides a detailed view of the protein's secondary and tertiary structures, including alpha helices and beta sheets. These structural elements form coils and cut-outs that contribute to its overall three-dimensional arrangement. Such information is invaluable for researchers studying proteomics and crystal structures. Notably, this photograph also emphasizes the evolutionary distinctness of archaea from bacteria. Archaea are single-celled microorganisms similar to bacteria but with unique characteristics that make them fascinating subjects for scientific exploration. As an artwork produced by Science Photo Library, this visually stunning depiction offers both aesthetic appeal and scientific insight into the world of biochemistry. It serves as a reminder of how art can merge with biology to create captivating visuals that inspire curiosity about our natural world.
