Glass Frame : Histidine amino acid
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Histidine amino acid
Histidine. Computer model of a molecule of the amino acid histidine (C6. H9. N3.O2). Atoms (solid tubes) are colour-coded: carbon (green), oxygen (red), hydrogen (grey) and nitrogen (blue). It is an essential amino acid (required in the diet), is common in haemoglobin and is essential for growth in infants. It is a precursor to histamine. Here, the zwitterion, an internal salt that forms in the body, is shown. The chemical groups characteristic of an amino acid, the amino (NH2) and the carboxyl (COOH) groups, have reacted together, forming an NH3 group (positively-charged, lower right) and a COO group (negatively-charged, upper right). At lower left is histidines imidazole ring group

7"x5" Glass Mount
Wall mounted or free-standing, these black edged glass frames feature a smooth chamfered edge and a stylish black border (on back face of the glass). Manufactured from 4mm thick glass, Glass Mounts are a durable, professional way of displaying and protecting your prints. Your 7x5 print is slotted into the back of the frame so can easily be changed if needed.
Tempered Glass Mounts are ideal for wall display, plus the smaller sizes can also be used free-standing via an integral stand
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 17.7cm x 12.7cm (7" x 5")
Estimated Product Size is 20.3cm x 16.2cm (8" x 6.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the histidine amino acid, a vital component in our bodies. The intricate structure of this molecule is beautifully illustrated with color-coded atoms representing carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Histidine is an essential amino acid that must be obtained through our diet and plays a crucial role in various biological processes. One notable function of histidine is its presence in haemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen throughout our body. Additionally, it is indispensable for the growth and development of infants. Another significant aspect highlighted here is that histidine serves as a precursor to histamine, which regulates several physiological functions. The image depicts the zwitterion form of histidine – an internal salt that forms within our body. The chemical reaction between the characteristic amino (NH2) and carboxyl (COOH) groups results in the formation of positively-charged NH3 group at the lower right corner and negatively-charged COO group at the upper right corner. This visually stunning artwork not only provides insight into molecular structures but also emphasizes their importance in biochemistry and nutrition. It represents a fusion of science and artistry while offering us a glimpse into the complex world of organic compounds.
