Myoglobin molecule C015 / 5702
Myoglobin molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a myoglobin molecule. Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue, where it binds to and stores oxygen to be used during strenuous exercise. The structure of the globin protein (pink) protects the haem (iron) group (green) from being oxidised and destroyed by the oxygen it carries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a myoglobin molecule, known as Myoglobin molecule C015 / 5702. Created using computer modeling, this illustration provides a detailed visualization of the protein found in muscle tissue. Myoglobin plays a crucial role in storing and binding oxygen for use during intense physical activity. The pink-colored globin protein acts as a shield, safeguarding the green-hued haem (iron) group from oxidation caused by the oxygen it carries. This protective mechanism ensures that the vital iron component remains intact and prevents its destruction. Displayed against a striking black background, this artwork captures the essence of myoglobin's significance within our biological systems. Its molecular composition is meticulously depicted, highlighting its structural complexity and metabolic functions. With implications extending to fields such as biochemistry and proteomics, understanding myoglobin's role in oxygen transport and storage is essential for comprehending muscle metabolism. This image serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying biochemical processes or those seeking visual representations of molecular models. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair to present an awe-inspiring portrayal of myoglobin's molecular architecture. Whether displayed in educational institutions or laboratories dedicated to advancing our knowledge of biology, this print serves as both an informative resource and visually stunning piece of artistry.
