Nitrogenase protein, molecular model
Nitrogenase protein. Molecular model of the MoFe protein, one of two proteins (MoFe and Fe) that combine to form the enzyme nitrogenase. Nitrogenase is used by certain organisms to ensure the electron transfer required for fixation of dinitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3). 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 molecular model of the Nitrogenase protein, specifically focusing on the MoFe protein. As one of two proteins that combine to form the enzyme nitrogenase, this remarkable structure plays a vital role in certain organisms' ability to convert dinitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3). The image beautifully captures the complex composition and structural details of this essential biological molecule. Through its secondary structure, we can observe alpha helices coiling elegantly alongside beta sheets forming arrow-like patterns, all interconnected by linking regions. This artwork not only highlights the scientific significance but also emphasizes the artistic beauty found within biochemistry. The precision and intricacy required for electron transfer are visually represented through this stunning molecular model. As we delve into proteomics and explore macromolecules at their core, it is fascinating to witness how nature's biochemical processes work together seamlessly. This visual representation serves as a testament to our understanding of these fundamental mechanisms that enable life itself. With its profound implications in fixing atmospheric nitrogen and contributing to our ecosystem's balance, nitrogenase stands as an awe-inspiring example of nature's ingenuity. Science Photo Library has expertly captured both the scientific essence and aesthetic appeal of this crucial enzyme with their exceptional illustration.
