Vitamin B1, molecular model
Vitamin B1, molecular model. The chemical formula for vitamin B1, also called thiamine, is C12.H17.N4.O.S. Atoms are represented as balls and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold), nitrogen (dark blue), oxygen (red) and sulphur (yellow). Vitamin B1 is an essential nutrient that humans are unable to produce and so need to obtain from their diet. It is found in flour, beans, pork, and salmon. Vitamin B1 is important for the normal function of the heart, muscles and nervous system, as well as normal growth and development. Deficiency can lead to the disease beriberi, which causes weight loss, emotional disturbances, and limb pain and weakness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. The chemical formula C12. H17. N4. O. S is elegantly represented by color-coded balls, each denoting a specific atom: blue for carbon, gold for hydrogen, dark blue for nitrogen, red for oxygen, and yellow for sulfur. Vitamin B1 is an indispensable nutrient that our bodies cannot produce naturally; hence we rely on obtaining it through our diet. Found abundantly in flour, beans, pork, and salmon - this essential vitamin plays a vital role in maintaining the normal functioning of our heart, muscles, and nervous system. It also contributes to healthy growth and development. Deficiency in Vitamin B1 can lead to beriberi - a debilitating disease characterized by weight loss, emotional disturbances along with pain and weakness in limbs. The molecular structure depicted here not only highlights the significance of this compound but also emphasizes its biochemical nature. As a water-soluble nutrient within the B complex vitamins group (which includes other crucial vitamins like B2 and B3), Vitamin B1 acts as an important dietary supplement ensuring optimal nutrition. With its precise cut-out design resembling ball-and-stick models used in biochemistry studies - this image beautifully captures the essence of this life-sustaining molecule. A testament to scientific exploration and understanding of nutrients at their most fundamental level – it serves as a reminder of how even small compounds can have profound impacts on human health.
