Fibrinogen molecule C014 / 0472
Fibrinogen. Molecular model showing the secondary structure of the blood clotting glycoprotein fibrinogen (factor I). The molecule consists of two sets of alpha (grey), beta (light blue) and gamma (dark blue) chains joined at a central nodule (at centre right). Fibrinogen, which is synthesised by the liver, is converted by thrombin into fibrin during a cascade of complex reactions initiated by chemical released by cells at injury sites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the fibrinogen molecule, a vital glycoprotein involved in blood clotting. The molecular model beautifully illustrates the secondary structure of fibrinogen, revealing its fascinating composition. Comprised of two sets of alpha, beta, and gamma chains, this hexameric protein is joined together at a central nodule. Fibrinogen plays a crucial role in our body's natural defense mechanism against injury. Synthesized by the liver, it undergoes a complex cascade of reactions initiated by chemicals released from cells at injury sites. Upon conversion by thrombin, fibrinogen transforms into fibrin - an essential component for forming blood clots. The artwork not only highlights the structural intricacies but also emphasizes the significance of calcium as a precursor to these coagulation factors. This molecular model provides valuable insights into biochemistry and human biology. Displayed against a contrasting background, this stunning print captures both scientific precision and artistic elegance simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even on a microscopic level, there is immense beauty within our biological systems. Ramon Andrade's exceptional work through 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers us an opportunity to appreciate the complexity and sophistication present within our own bodies while showcasing science as artistry itself.
