Antique Framed Print : Lactose molecule
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Lactose molecule
Lactose. Computer-generated molecular model of lactose. Lactose is composed of carbon(green), hydrogen (grey-white) and oxygen (red). Lactose is a saccharide (sugar) that occurs naturally in both human and cows milk. Saccharides consist of rings of four or five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Attached around the ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups. Disaccharides comprise two different monosaccharides joined together, in this case glucose and galactose. A deficiency of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose, can lead to lactose intolerance

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated molecular model of the lactose molecule. Lactose, a saccharide or sugar, is naturally present in both human and cows milk. The composition of this essential carbohydrate consists of carbon atoms depicted in green, hydrogen atoms portrayed in grey-white, and oxygen atoms represented by the vibrant red color. The intricate structure of lactose reveals rings formed by four or five carbon atoms with an oxygen atom at their core. Encircling these rings are hydroxyl (OH) groups that play a crucial role in its chemical makeup. Disaccharides like lactose are created when two different monosaccharides combine; glucose and galactose unite to form lactose. It is worth noting that individuals who lack sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase may experience difficulties breaking down lactose, leading to what is commonly known as lactose intolerance. This condition highlights the importance of understanding the complex biochemistry behind molecules like lactose. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this organic illustration through stunning artistry and attention to detail. The visual representation combines elements such as tubes, sticks, graphics, and various colors to create an informative yet visually appealing image that captivates viewers' curiosity about chemistry and molecular structures.
