Type IV collagen, molecular model F006 / 9511

Type IV collagen, molecular model. Collagen is a long structural protein, formed from amino acids that make up polypeptide strands that twist around each other. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and has a tough fibrous tensile strength. It is found throughout the bodys connective tissues (skin, cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons) providing structural and metabolic support. This is the NC1 domain in type IV collagen. This type of collagen forms sheets such as the basal lamina. This collagen molecule is based on that found in the lens capsule of a cow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of Type IV collagen, specifically the NC1 domain. Collagen, known as the most abundant protein in the human body, plays a crucial role in providing structural and metabolic support to various connective tissues such as skin, cartilage, bone, ligaments, and tendons. Its tough fibrous tensile strength is evident in this intricate illustration. The polypeptide strands that make up collagen twist around each other to form long chains with remarkable stability. The sheets formed by Type IV collagen are particularly significant as they constitute the basal lamina—a vital component of many biological structures. Derived from the lens capsule of a cow, this molecular model serves as an invaluable tool for researchers and medical professionals alike. It aids in understanding the complex structure and function of collagen at a microscopic level. With its white background and precise cutouts highlighting every detail of this fascinating molecule's tertiary structure—comprising alpha helixes and beta sheets—the artwork captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This image represents not only biology but also biochemistry, proteomics, medicine, and healthcare research. Displayed proudly by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY (not affiliated with any company), this print offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of molecular biology while emphasizing the importance of Type IV collagen in our bodies' overall well-being.
