Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1. Computer model of a molecule of vitamin B1 (thiamine, C12.H17.N4.O.S), a water- soluble vitamin. The atoms (solid tubes) of this organic molecule are colour-coded: oxygen (red), carbon (yellow), hydrogen (grey), nitrogen (blue) and sulphur (green). Thiamine is important for the normal function of the heart, muscles and nervous system, as well as normal growth and development. Flour, beans, pork and salmon provide thiamine. An excessive deficiency of thiamine can result in the disease beriberi. Small amounts of vitamins are an essential part of a healthy diet, providing enzyme cofactors for the varied biochemistry of body metabolism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. The intricate structure of this water-soluble vitamin is beautifully depicted through color-coded atoms, with red representing oxygen, yellow for carbon, grey for hydrogen, blue for nitrogen, and green for sulphur. Thiamine plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal function of the heart, muscles, and nervous system while supporting overall growth and development. The sources of this essential nutrient can be found in everyday foods such as flour, beans, pork, and salmon. However, an excessive deficiency in thiamine can lead to beriberi disease. Vitamins are vital components of a healthy diet as they serve as enzyme cofactors that facilitate various biochemical processes within our bodies. This stunning illustration not only highlights the complex molecular structure but also emphasizes the significance of Vitamin B1 in sustaining optimal health. Created using advanced computer artwork techniques by Science Photo Library experts specializing in biochemistry and chemistry-related visuals; it serves as a remarkable educational tool to understand the fundamental role played by compounds like thiamine at a molecular level.
