Myoglobin protein, molecular model C016 / 6575
Myoglobin protein. Molecular model showing the structure of the myoglobin protein. Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue, where it binds to and stores oxygen to be used during strenuous exercise. The structure of the globin protein (red) protects the haem (iron) group (lower left) from being oxidised and destroyed by the oxygen it carries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of the Myoglobin protein, known as C016 / 6575. The structure depicted here provides a fascinating insight into the role this protein plays in our muscle tissue. Myoglobin acts as a vital oxygen reservoir during intense physical activity, binding and storing oxygen to fuel our bodies during strenuous exercise. The vibrant red globin protein forms a protective shield around the haem group located at the lower left corner of the image. This iron-containing molecule is safeguarded from oxidation and destruction by the very oxygen it carries. Such an ingenious design ensures that myoglobin can effectively transport oxygen without compromising its own integrity. With its white background and detailed illustration, this print beautifully captures both the artistic and scientific aspects of biology. It highlights key elements such as amino acids, polypeptides, peptides, and secondary structures that contribute to myoglobin's metabolic functions. As we delve into molecular biology through this artwork, we gain a deeper understanding of how myoglobin serves as an essential coenzyme for oxygen transport within our bodies. This stunning visual representation not only celebrates biochemistry but also emphasizes the importance of biomolecules like myoglobin in supporting human physiology during demanding physical activities.
