Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen C015 / 7149
Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen, molecular model. The thrombin molecules (left and right, brown and pink) are bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule (centre, multiple colours). The fibrinogen chains are the beta and gamma chains. Both structures are the ones found in humans. Thrombin is an enzyme involved in the blood coagulation (clotting) process. It converts fibrinogen (a soluble plasma glycoprotein synthesised in the liver) to fibrin, a protein that is polymerised to form a mesh, or clot, (with platelets) over a wound site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of thrombin complexed with fibrinogen C015/7149. The image features two thrombin molecules, depicted in brown and pink, bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule. The fibrinogen chains, represented by multiple vibrant colors, are identified as beta and gamma chains - both crucial components found within humans. Thrombin is a vital enzyme involved in the blood coagulation process, responsible for converting soluble plasma glycoprotein fibrinogen into fibrin. This transformation leads to the formation of a mesh-like clot over wounds when combined with platelets. The black background adds depth and contrast to this visually striking illustration. With its focus on biology, biochemistry, and molecular structures related to circulation and physiology, this artwork provides valuable insights into haematology and the human body's intricate mechanisms. It highlights key elements such as proteins, macromolecules, enzymes like thrombin that play essential roles in clotting processes. The detailed representation of these biomolecules offers an opportunity for scientific exploration while also showcasing their aesthetic appeal. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY for non-commercial use only; this print serves as a visual reminder of our understanding of clot formation at a molecular level through proteomics research and advances in molecular biology techniques.
