Paracetamol molecule
Serotonin molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the neurotransmitter (nerve signalling chemical) serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). Serotonin is an important brain signalling molecule and a lack of it has been shown to cause depression and other mood disorders. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (black), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue), and oxygen (red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of two important molecules in biology and medicine: paracetamol and serotonin. The computer-generated model vividly illustrates the molecular composition of these compounds, with atoms represented as color-coded spheres. Paracetamol, known for its analgesic and antipyretic properties, is a widely used pain relief medication. Its molecular structure is depicted here, revealing the arrangement of carbon (black), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue), and oxygen (red) atoms that make up this pharmaceutical compound. Adjacent to it lies the serotonin molecule, a crucial neurotransmitter responsible for nerve signaling within the brain. Serotonin plays a vital role in regulating mood, sleep patterns, appetite, and various cognitive functions. Research has shown that imbalances or deficiencies in serotonin levels can lead to mood disorders such as depression. The artistic representation presented here not only highlights the beauty of these biochemical structures but also emphasizes their significance in pharmacology and biochemistry. By visualizing these molecules at a microscopic level, scientists gain valuable insights into their mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications. This thought-provoking artwork by Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how scientific advancements continue to unravel the complexities of our biological systems while offering hope for improved treatments in medicine and mental health care.
