Pepsin stomach enzyme F006 / 9767
Pepsin stomach enzyme, molecular model. Pepsin is a protease enzyme that is secreted as part of gastric juice into the stomach in an inactive form known as pepsinogen. When this form comes into contact with hydrochloric acid it is converted into the active form that hydrolyses proteins into smaller polypeptides (peptones). The structure shown here is porcine (pig) pepsin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of pepsin, a vital enzyme found in the stomach. The image depicts a detailed model of porcine (pig) pepsin against a clean white background, allowing for clear observation and analysis. Pepsin is an essential protease enzyme that plays a crucial role in digestion. Initially secreted as an inactive form called pepsinogen, it becomes activated upon contact with hydrochloric acid present in gastric juice. Once activated, pepsin efficiently breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides known as peptones. The molecular structure depicted here exhibits various elements such as alpha helixes and beta sheets, forming its tertiary structure. This complexity highlights the precision required for optimal protein digestion within our bodies. Not only does this image serve as an artistic representation of biological structures but also holds significant importance in research and medicine. It aids scientists and medical professionals in understanding digestive processes at a molecular level while contributing to advancements in healthcare and biochemistry. With its striking visual appeal and scientific significance, this print by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY serves as both educational artwork and valuable resource for those exploring the fascinating world of enzymes, biology, proteomics, wildlife research, and more.
