Vitamin B6 molecule
Vitamin B6. Computer graphic depicting a molecule of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride). The molecular formula is C8.H11.NO3. Atoms appear as spheres, joined by atomic bonds. Atoms are colour- coded: carbon (green), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), hydrogen (yellow). Vitamin B6 is one of the water-soluble B complex vitamins which, although they are chemically unrelated, perform similar functions in the body and are found in common dietary sources. Vitamin B6 is used by the body to form pyridoxal phosphate, a co-enzyme involved in the transamination of amino acids. Deficiency of vitamin B6 is rare. It is found in vegetables, milk, eggs and meat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Vitamin B6 molecule, specifically pyridoxine hydrochloride. The computer graphic representation vividly depicts the molecular structure with atoms appearing as colorful spheres connected by atomic bonds. Carbon atoms are represented in green, nitrogen in blue, oxygen in red, and hydrogen in yellow. Vitamin B6 is part of the water-soluble B complex vitamins family that share similar functions within our bodies despite their chemical differences. This essential vitamin can be found abundantly in various dietary sources such as vegetables, milk, eggs, and meat. Within our body's biochemical processes, Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role by aiding in the formation of pyridoxal phosphate - an important co-enzyme involved in amino acid transamination. Although deficiency of this vital vitamin is rare due to its availability from natural food sources, it remains an integral component for maintaining overall health. The Science Photo Library has captured this mesmerizing image to showcase not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic appeal of these compounds at a molecular level. It serves as a reminder of how nature's complexity can be visually stunning even on a microscopic scale.
