Vitamin C. Computer model of a molecule of the water-soluble vitamin C

Vitamin C. Computer model of a molecule of the water-soluble vitamin C (ascorbic acid, C6.H8.O6). The atoms (solid tubes) of this organic molecule are colour-coded: carbon (yellow), hydrogen (grey) and oxygen (red). Vitamin C is obtained from fresh fruit, especially the citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. It must be regularly replenished. It is required to maintain healthy connective tissue and heal wounds. It is also an antioxidant that may protect against viruses and cancer-causing substances. Lack of vitamin C causes scurvy, with symptoms such as bleeding gums, loose teeth and open skin sores. Small amounts of vitamins are an essential part of a healthy diet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the water-soluble vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. The intricate structure of this organic molecule is beautifully depicted through color-coded atoms: yellow representing carbon, grey symbolizing hydrogen, and red signifying oxygen. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that can be obtained from fresh fruits, particularly citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. However, it must be regularly replenished in our bodies. Beyond its role in maintaining healthy connective tissue and aiding wound healing, vitamin C serves as a powerful antioxidant that may offer protection against viruses and cancer-causing substances. Its molecular composition enables it to act as a free radical scavenger within our system. The consequences of vitamin C deficiency are vividly portrayed by the mention of scurvy – a condition characterized by bleeding gums, loose teeth, and open skin sores. This emphasizes the vital importance of including small amounts of vitamins in our daily diet for overall well-being. Through this mesmerizing illustration created using advanced computer artwork techniques, Science Photo Library brings to life the complex world of biochemistry. It sheds light on the molecular structure and compounds that play crucial roles in our health while reminding us of the significance of nutrients like vitamin C in maintaining optimal bodily functions.
