Orexin-A hormone molecule
Orexin-A hormone molecule. Computer model showing the crystal structure of a molecule of the hormone orexin-A. The crystal structure consists of both the secondary structure, represented by alpha helices (ribbons), and primary structure (rods). Orexin-A is one of a pair of excitatory neuropeptide hormones that regulate the sleep cycle by inducing wakefulness. The other is Orexin-B. Orexins, also known as hypocretins, also play a role in stimulating appetite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate crystal structure of the hormone molecule known as Orexin-A. The computer model beautifully illustrates both the secondary and primary structures of this vital hormone, with alpha helices represented by elegant ribbons and rods representing the primary structure. Orexin-A is part of a dynamic duo of neuropeptide hormones that play a crucial role in regulating our sleep cycle by promoting wakefulness. Its counterpart, Orexin-B, also contributes to this process. Additionally, these hormones, also referred to as hypocretins, have been found to stimulate appetite. The white background emphasizes the purity and scientific nature of this image while highlighting its importance in biology and chemistry research. Every atom within this chemical compound has been meticulously captured in stunning detail. Scientists utilize molecular models like these to better understand how orexins function at a hormonal level and their impact on various biological processes such as appetite regulation. This cutting-edge research falls under the realm of biochemistry and endocrinology.
