ATPase muscle enzyme
Calcium pumping ATPase enzyme. Computer model of an electrostatic potential surface map of part of the ATPase enzyme that pumps calcium in and out of muscle cells and controls muscle contractions. The name ATPase refers to this enzymes ability to break up the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule and release energy. This ATPase uses the energy to pump calcium ions in and out of muscle cells, and it is found in muscle cell membranes. Calcium ions are central to the process of muscle contraction. Enzymes are catalysts and so promote reactions and are not used up. They are also proteins. Proteins are long chains of amino acids. This protein has around 1000 amino acids and about 15, 000 atoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the ATPase muscle enzyme, specifically the electrostatic potential surface map responsible for pumping calcium in and out of muscle cells. This intricate enzyme plays a crucial role in controlling muscle contractions by breaking down adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules to release energy. Found within muscle cell membranes, this ATPase utilizes the obtained energy to transport calcium ions, which are vital for the process of muscle contraction. Enzymes like ATPase act as catalysts, promoting reactions without being consumed themselves. Comprised of proteins consisting of long chains of amino acids, this particular protein contains approximately 1000 amino acids and an astounding 15,000 atoms. The detailed illustration beautifully captures the complexity and significance of biochemical processes occurring at a cellular level. With its fusion of biology, chemistry, and molecular science elements, this visually stunning artwork provides insight into the intricate world within our muscles. It serves as a reminder that even on a microscopic scale, life is governed by complex chemical compounds and enzymatic reactions. This mesmerizing image from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both the beauty and scientific importance behind these fundamental biological processes while highlighting how art can merge with science to create captivating visuals that inspire curiosity about our own bodies' inner workings.
