Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Collagen synthesis and assembly, artwork
Collagen synthesis and assembly, artwork. At left is a fibroblast, the cell that synthesises helical protein chains of collagen (wavy lines). Three of these chains combine to form one triple helix collagen molecule (centre). Collagen molecules aggregate into fibrils (single yellow and white strand), with then group together to form collagen fibres (right). Collagen makes up one quarter of all proteins in the human body. It is the most abundant protein in the body. It has has a high tensile strength, providing structure and elasticity to skin, tendons, ligaments and bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate process of collagen synthesis and assembly within the human body. In this print, we are presented with a detailed illustration that highlights the key elements involved in this essential biological process. At the left side of the image, we see a fibroblast, which is responsible for synthesizing helical protein chains of collagen represented by wavy lines. These individual chains then combine to form one triple helix collagen molecule at the center of the artwork. The collagen molecules further aggregate into fibrils, depicted as single yellow and white strands. Moving towards the right side of the image, these fibrils group together to form larger structures known as collagen fibers. Collagen plays a crucial role in our bodies as it constitutes approximately one quarter of all proteins present. It holds immense significance due to its high tensile strength, providing structure and elasticity to various tissues such as skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. The black background adds depth and contrast to this visually stunning representation while emphasizing the importance of understanding collagen's structural composition on a molecular level. This artwork serves as an informative visual aid for those interested in biochemistry or biology-related fields by showcasing how fibroblasts assemble helical protein chains into functional collagen molecules through self-assembly processes.
