Pepsin stomach enzyme C016 / 2834
Pepsin stomach enzyme, molecular model. Pepsin is a protease enzyme that is secreted as part of gastric juice into the stomach in an inactive form known as pepsinogen. When this form comes into contact with hydrochloric acid it is converted into the active form that hydrolyses proteins into smaller polypeptides (peptones). The structure shown here is porcine (pig) pepsin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Pepsin, a vital enzyme found in the stomach. The image beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this macromolecule, which plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Pepsin is secreted as an inactive form called pepsinogen and becomes activated upon contact with hydrochloric acid. Once activated, it acts as a protease enzyme, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides known as peptones. This process is essential for efficient digestion and nutrient absorption. The structure depicted here represents porcine (pig) pepsin, highlighting its biological significance across different species. Against a clean white background, the illustration allows us to focus solely on the detailed arrangement of atoms that make up this remarkable enzyme. With its emphasis on biology and biochemistry, this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It exemplifies how scientific imagery can be visually striking while conveying important information about complex processes within our bodies. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning piece combines elements of graphic design with scientific precision to produce an engaging visual representation of pepsin's molecular structure. Whether you are studying biology or simply fascinated by nature's intricacies, this artwork offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of molecular biology and enzymatic activity within our digestive system.
