Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen C015 / 7148
Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen, molecular model. The thrombin molecules (left and right, purple and green) are bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule (centre, multiple colours). The fibrinogen chains are the beta and gamma chains. Both structures are the ones found in humans. Thrombin is an enzyme involved in the blood coagulation (clotting) process. It converts fibrinogen (a soluble plasma glycoprotein synthesised in the liver) to fibrin, a protein that is polymerised to form a mesh, or clot, (with platelets) over a wound site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen C015/7148. The image depicts two thrombin molecules, colored in purple and green, bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule. The fibrinogen chains, represented by multiple colors, are identified as beta and gamma chains - both crucial components found in humans. Thrombin, an enzyme involved in blood coagulation or clotting process, plays a vital role in converting soluble plasma glycoprotein called fibrinogen into fibrin. This transformation leads to the polymerization of fibrin proteins that form a mesh-like structure over wounds along with platelets. The white background enhances the clarity of this illustration while highlighting its significance within biology and physiology. With its emphasis on structural and biochemical aspects related to circulation and haematology, this artwork provides valuable insights into clot formation within our circulatory system. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY for non-commercial use only, this visually stunning representation combines scientific accuracy with artistic finesse. It serves as a powerful tool for researchers and enthusiasts alike who seek a deeper understanding of macromolecules like thrombin complexed with fibrinogen at a molecular level. Overall, this print captures the beauty hidden within biological processes while shedding light on essential elements such as proteins, enzymes, biomolecules - all fundamental building blocks that contribute to our body's intricate functioning.
