Poster Prints From Science Photo Library
Insulin hormone, molecular model
Insulin hormone. Molecular model of the bovine form of the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas in mammals to aid the body in metabolising sugars. A lack of this hormone is the cause of diabetes. Bovine insulin is virtually identical to human insulin, and is used to treat diabetics. The model shows two ways to represent the structure. The tubular form shows the atoms and the bonds, while the helical ribbons show the shape of the molecule. The molecule consists of two peptide chains, A (blue/green) and B (yellow/orange), which are linked by disulphide bridges (bonds between 2 sulphur atoms). This model shows 460 atoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of insulin hormone, specifically the bovine form. Insulin is a vital hormone produced by the pancreas in mammals to facilitate sugar metabolism within the body. Diabetes, a condition caused by insufficient insulin production, can be treated using bovine insulin due to its remarkable similarity to human insulin. The molecular structure is represented in two ways in this model: through tubular forms that depict atoms and bonds, and helical ribbons that illustrate the molecule's shape. Comprised of two peptide chains known as A (blue/green) and B (yellow/orange), this intricate molecule is connected by disulphide bridges formed between sulfur atoms. Impressively, this model encompasses an astonishing 460 atoms, highlighting its complexity at a microscopic level. The image not only serves as an illustrative tool for medical professionals but also emphasizes the significance of chemistry and biochemistry in understanding hormones like insulin. With its computer-generated artwork depicting sheets of molecules intertwined with alpha helices and beta sheets representing secondary structures, it offers insight into protein composition. Endocrinology enthusiasts will appreciate how this photograph delves into the world of hormones while shedding light on diabetes treatment possibilities. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal in this visually striking representation of one of our body's most crucial molecules - insulin hormone.
