Chloride ion channel, molecular model
Chloride ion channel, molecular model. This is a ClC ion channel. Its role is to mediate the flow of chloride ions across cell membranes. This produces electric current and excitation in skeletal muscle. It also aids the flow of salt and water across epithelial barriers. Here, the four chains of the channel protein are highlighted in different colours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a molecular model of the Chloride ion channel, known as ClC. The intricate structure of this ion channel plays a crucial role in facilitating the movement of chloride ions across cell membranes. As depicted on a black background, the illustration highlights the four chains that make up this protein, each distinguished by vibrant colors. The significance of the ClC ion channel becomes evident when considering its impact on various biological processes. By mediating the flow of chloride ions, it generates electric current and excitation within skeletal muscle. Furthermore, it aids in regulating salt and water transportation across epithelial barriers. The graphic representation beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this macromolecule found within cells. Its structural arrangement is essential for proper functioning at a cellular level and contributes to vital physiological functions such as muscle contraction and electrical signaling. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into biochemistry and molecular biology. It offers scientists and researchers an opportunity to delve deeper into understanding membrane proteins, transmembrane proteins, ion transport mechanisms, proteomics, biomolecules, and molecular structures. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that merges artistry with scientific exploration without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with companies.
