Small heat shock protein
Small heat shock protein, molecular model. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins whose levels increase when cells are exposed to raised temperatures or other stress. Small HSPs bind to proteins to prevent them from being denatured by heat. This protein is from the thermophile archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii. It consists of 24 units (monomers) forming a hollow sphere with octahedral symmetry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a small heat shock protein (HSP), providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of molecular biology. Against a striking black background, this spherical illustration highlights the complexity and beauty inherent in biological molecules. Heat shock proteins are crucial components within cells that respond to elevated temperatures or other stressful conditions. As stressors increase, so do the levels of HSPs, which act as molecular chaperones to protect other proteins from denaturation caused by heat. This particular HSP originates from Methanococcus jannaschii, a thermophile archaeon known for thriving in extreme environments. Composed of 24 monomers arranged in an octahedral symmetry, this small HSP forms an elegant hollow sphere. The detailed artwork accurately represents its three-dimensional structure using spacefill models, allowing us to appreciate its intricacy and functionality at a molecular level. The image serves as a reminder of the remarkable adaptability and resilience found within living organisms. It also underscores the importance of understanding these fundamental building blocks to further our knowledge in proteomics and biochemistry research. Captured by Science Photo Library, this visually stunning print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers valuable insights into the world of cellular mechanisms and scientific exploration.
