EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Keratan sulphate, a linear polysaccharide polymer that plays a vital role in our bodies. Found in cartilage, bone, and the cornea (the transparent part of the eye), this remarkable compound is essential for maintaining their structural integrity. The reflection captured in this illustration adds an artistic touch to the scientific subject matter, emphasizing its beauty and complexity. The meticulous attention to detail highlights the importance of understanding biological molecules at a molecular level. Keratan sulphate's primary structure consists of disaccharide units linked together to form long chains. As a mucopolysaccharide, it contributes significantly to the overall composition and function of connective tissues like cartilage and bone. Scientists have extensively studied keratan sulphate due to its unique properties and involvement in various physiological processes. Its presence within these tissues ensures their strength, flexibility, and resilience. This visually stunning artwork not only serves as an educational tool but also sparks curiosity about biochemistry and chemical compounds. It invites viewers into the fascinating world where art meets science – where molecules become masterpieces worthy of admiration.
