Cholesterol producing enzyme and statin F006 / 9366
Cholesterol producing enzyme and statin. Computer model showing the molecular structure of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) in complex with Atorvastatin. HMGCR is the rate-controlling enzyme of the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol in the body. Atorvastatin is a member of the group of drugs known as statins, which are used for lowering blood cholesterol. Like all statins it works by inhibiting the action of HMGCR

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) in complex with Atorvastatin, a powerful statin drug used to lower blood cholesterol levels. The computer-generated model beautifully illustrates the essential role of HMGCR as the rate-controlling enzyme in the metabolic pathway responsible for cholesterol production within our bodies. Against a clean white background, this artwork delves into the realm of biology and medicine, offering a glimpse into groundbreaking research on biochemical processes. The detailed representation highlights key components such as alpha helix and beta sheet structures that contribute to the tertiary structure of this vital protein. Atorvastatin's mechanism of action is revealed through its interaction with HMGCR, effectively inhibiting its function. This inhibition prevents excessive cholesterol synthesis, making statins an indispensable tool in managing cardiovascular health. The image not only serves as an educational resource but also emphasizes the significance of proteomics and biochemistry in understanding complex biological systems. Its cut-out design allows for easy integration into various medical illustrations or scientific presentations. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this visually striking print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world where art meets science. It encapsulates both healthcare advancements and scientific curiosity while refraining from any commercial connotations.
