Vitamin B1 molecule C016 / 8275
Vitamin B1 molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Vitamin B1 is an essential nutrient that humans are unable to produce and need to obtain from their diet. It 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. Atoms are represented as colour-coded spheres: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (dark blue), oxygen (red), and sulphur (yellow)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Vitamin B1 molecule, also known as thiamine. The computer-generated model highlights the essential nature of this nutrient, which humans are unable to produce and must obtain from their diet. With its vibrant colors representing different atoms - carbon (light blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (dark blue), oxygen (red), and sulphur (yellow) - the image beautifully captures the complexity of this vital compound. Vitamin B1 plays a crucial role in maintaining normal heart function, muscle strength, and a healthy nervous system. It is also indispensable for proper growth and development. Deficiency in this essential vitamin can lead to beriberi, a debilitating disease characterized by weight loss, emotional disturbances, limb pain, and weakness. The artwork's black background adds depth to the molecular structure while emphasizing its significance in biology and chemistry. As an illustration of biochemical processes within our bodies, it serves as a reminder that nutrition is key to overall well-being. Created by INDIGO MOLECULAR IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print offers both scientific insight into molecular structures and aesthetic appeal. Whether used for educational purposes or appreciated purely for its artistic value, it serves as a testament to the wonders of biochemistry and underscores the importance of water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin B1 in our daily lives.
