Tablet computer, insulin molecule F006 / 6311
Tablet computer showing a part of the molecule of human insulin. A single insulin molecule is made up of two chains of amino acids, the A and B chains, which are held together by di-sulphide bridges. Here, a detail of the B chain is seen. Atoms are spherical and colour-coded: carbon (green), oxygen (red), hydrogen (blue). Atomic bonds drawn as lines show the skeleton of this part of the molecule. Insulin is a hormone which is produced in the pancreas by cells of the Islets of Langerhans. Its function is to regulate blood sugar levels. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood, causing diabetes mellitus

This print showcases the intricate details of a tablet computer displaying a segment of the human insulin molecule. The image highlights the two chains, A and B, that compose a single insulin molecule, connected by di-sulphide bridges. Each atom is represented as a spherical entity with distinct colors: carbon in green, oxygen in red, and hydrogen in blue. The lines symbolize atomic bonds, outlining the molecular skeleton visible here from the B chain. Insulin serves as a vital hormone produced within the pancreas by cells known as Islets of Langerhans. Its primary role revolves around regulating blood sugar levels effectively. However, insufficient production of insulin results in an accumulation of glucose in the bloodstream leading to diabetes mellitus. The artwork not only emphasizes technological advancements but also intertwines it with biochemical knowledge and its significance for medical science. This fusion between technology and biology signifies how tablets have become essential tools for research and information dissemination across various fields. With its sleek design featuring wireless capabilities and touch screen functionality, this tablet computer represents more than just an electronic device; it embodies progress at both scientific and societal levels. It symbolizes our ability to harness technology's potential to unravel complex biological structures like insulin molecules while simultaneously providing access to vast amounts of information through multi-media platforms. This remarkable print encapsulates innovation at its finest – where art meets science on a white background canvas – inviting viewers into an immersive world where atoms dance together to form life-saving compounds like insulin.
