Tequin antibiotic molecule
Tequin antibiotic molecule. Computer model of a molecule of tequin, a broad spectrum antibiotic. Atoms are represened as rods and are colour-coded: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), nitrogen (dark blue) and fluorine (green). Tequin kills bacteria by preventing them from replicating their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It is used to treat infections of the lungs, sinuses, urinary tract and the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. Tequin should not be taken by diabetics because it can cause hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Tequin antibiotic molecule. The intricate structure is represented by color-coded rods, with carbon in light blue, hydrogen in white, oxygen in red, nitrogen in dark blue, and fluorine in green. Tequin is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic used to combat various infections such as those affecting the lungs, sinuses, urinary tract, and even gonorrhea. The mechanism behind Tequin's effectiveness lies in its ability to hinder bacterial DNA replication. By preventing this crucial process through its pharmacological action on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Tequin successfully eradicates harmful bacteria from the body. However, it is important to note that diabetics should exercise caution when considering this medication due to potential side effects. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur as a result of taking Tequin. The significance of this image extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it highlights the remarkable advancements made possible by biochemistry and pharmaceutical research. Through meticulous scientific exploration and innovative molecular design like that seen here with Tequin's compound structure, we are able to develop life-saving drugs that combat infectious diseases effectively. This stunning computer artwork serves as a testament to the vital role played by chemistry and medicine in improving human health worldwide.
