Vitamin B12 transport protein C013 / 7184
Vitamin B12 transport protein, molecular model showing secondary structure. This receptor protein, known as BTUB, is from the Escherichia coli bacterium. It accounts for active transport of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) across the outer membrane of the bacterial cell. This process explains how E. coli in human intestines can affect the uptake of vitamin B12. This single-chain protein contains 594 amino acids

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Vitamin B12 transport protein C013/7184, also known as BTUB. Derived from Escherichia coli bacterium, this receptor protein plays a crucial role in actively transporting vitamin B12 (cobalamin) across the outer membrane of bacterial cells. The illustration vividly depicts the secondary structure of this single-chain protein, which consists of 594 amino acids. The significance of BTUB lies in its ability to explain how E. coli residing in human intestines can impact the absorption and uptake of vitamin B12. This biological process sheds light on the interplay between diet, biology, and nutrition within our bodies. The artwork not only highlights the structural complexity but also emphasizes the biochemical implications associated with deficiencies in vitamin B12 intake. By unraveling the mysteries behind cellular mechanisms and microbiological interactions, scientists gain valuable insights into how bacteria like E. coli influence our overall health. With its focus on biomolecules and proteomics, this image serves as a visual testament to cutting-edge research in molecular biology and biochemistry. It symbolizes an amalgamation of scientific disciplines that contribute to our understanding of essential nutrients like cobalamin. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY for non-commercial use only, this print is a striking representation of both artistry and scientific discovery intertwined seamlessly together.
