Valine, molecular model
Valine. Molecular model of the amino acid valine. Its chemical formula is C5.H11.N.O2. Atoms are represented as balls and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold), oxygen (red) and nitrogen (dark blue). Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Valine is an essential amino acid. It cannot be synthesised by the body and so needs to be obtained from food. Foods high in valine include cottage cheese, fish, poultry, peanuts, sesame seeds, and lentils. Valine is important in muscle metabolism, repair and growth of tissue, regulating blood sugar levels, and providing the body with energy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular model of Valine, an essential amino acid vital for our body's functions. The intricate structure is beautifully depicted with atoms represented as colorful balls: carbon in blue, hydrogen in gold, oxygen in red, and nitrogen in dark blue. Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins, making Valine a crucial component in muscle metabolism and tissue repair and growth. What makes Valine unique is its chemical formula C5. H11. N. O2 - it cannot be synthesized by our bodies and must be obtained through food sources. This artwork emphasizes the importance of incorporating valine-rich foods into our diets such as cottage cheese, fish, poultry, peanuts, sesame seeds, and lentils. Beyond its role in protein synthesis, Valine also plays a significant part in regulating blood sugar levels while providing energy to our bodies. Its biochemical properties make it indispensable for maintaining overall health. The precision-cut molecule displayed here represents not only scientific accuracy but also serves as a reminder of the wonders of biochemistry. Science Photo Library has once again captured this compound's complexity through their artful representation using ball-and-stick models. Let this mesmerizing print remind us of the intricate world within ourselves where compounds like valine work tirelessly to keep us healthy and energized.
