Jigsaw Puzzle : Thrombin protein, secondary structure
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Thrombin protein, secondary structure
Thrombin protein, computer model. Thrombin is a protein 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, (in conjunction with platelets) over a wound site. In this model the molecules shape (secondary structure) is seen, comprising alpha helices (coils), beta sheets (arrows) and linking regions (lines)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Thrombin protein, a vital component in the blood coagulation process. The computer model beautifully illustrates the secondary structure of this remarkable protein, revealing its composition of alpha helices (coils), beta sheets (arrows), and linking regions (lines). Thrombin plays a crucial role in converting fibrinogen, a soluble plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the liver, into fibrin. This polymerized protein forms a mesh or clot over wounds when combined with platelets. In this image, we witness the molecular complexity and biochemical elegance that enables thrombin to function as an enzyme. The detailed arrangement of coils and arrows within this macromolecule highlights its significance in clotting and coagulation processes. As we delve into its molecular model, we discover how serine protease activity allows thrombin to act as an endopeptidase or peptidase. Science Photo Library has expertly captured both artistry and science through this illustration. It serves as a reminder of how biology intertwines with chemistry to create life-sustaining functions within our bodies.
