Quaternionic fractals
Haemoglobin. Computer model of the haemoglobin molecule that transports oxygen around the body in red blood cells. It has four iron-containing haem groups (coloured spheres). The rest of the haemoglobin structure consists of four globin proteins (amino acid chains, coils). Each globin protein is wrapped around a haem group, protecting it from being oxidised and destroyed by the oxygen it is intended to transport. The structure of the haem molecules is not clearly seen, but the atoms are colour-coded: carbon (yellow), oxygen (red), nitrogen (blue) and iron (green). It is this iron atom that reversibly bonds to oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of quaternionic fractals, specifically depicting a computer model of the haemoglobin molecule. Haemoglobin plays a vital role in our bodies by transporting oxygen to various tissues through red blood cells. The molecular structure is composed of four iron-containing haem groups, represented by vibrant colored spheres, surrounded and protected by four globin proteins. The mesmerizing pattern displayed in this artwork highlights the complexity and elegance found within nature's design. Although not clearly visible, each atom within the haem molecules has been color-coded for clarity: carbon appears as yellow, oxygen as red, nitrogen as blue, and iron as green. It is this very iron atom that forms reversible bonds with both oxygen and carbon dioxide present in our bloodstream. The image itself exudes an aura of mathematical precision and artistic flair. Its twisted geometry draws inspiration from Julia sets and Mandelbrot fractals while incorporating elements of algebraic equations and numerical patterns. Against a striking black background, this full-frame illustration captures attention with its graphic representation of complex mathematical formulas. Science Photo Library presents us with yet another awe-inspiring piece that seamlessly merges science with artistry. This print serves as a reminder of the profound interconnectedness between mathematics and biology while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate the hidden wonders residing within our own bodies.
