Jigsaw Puzzle : Immunoglobulin G antibody
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Immunoglobulin G antibody
Immunoglobulin G antibody. Molecular model of the antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG). Each coloured strand represents a protein chain. The arrows and cylinders represent specific 3-dimensional structures present within each of the four chains. The two longest (heavy) chains (blue, red) are identical and form the Y-shaped backbone of the structure. The two shorter (light) chains (grey, orange), also identical, interact with the heavy chains at the branches of the Y. Antibodies defend the body against infection. Their branched regions bind foreign proteins, neutralising their activity or initiating immune reactions against them

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of an Immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG). The image beautifully illustrates the complexity and elegance of this vital component of our immune system. Each colored strand represents a protein chain, while the arrows and cylinders symbolize specific 3-dimensional structures within each chain. The two longest chains, depicted in blue and red, are identical and form the backbone of the Y-shaped structure. Meanwhile, the two shorter chains in grey and orange also interact with the heavy chains at the branches of the Y. These antibodies play a crucial role in defending our bodies against infections by binding to foreign proteins, either neutralizing their harmful activity or triggering immune reactions against them. Through this stunning computer artwork, we gain insight into how antibodies function on a molecular level. It serves as a reminder that our bodies possess remarkable defense mechanisms designed to protect us from harm. This image is not just visually striking but also offers valuable information about biology, anatomy, chemistry, immunology, and biochemistry. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in science through this mesmerizing illustration. Whether you're fascinated by human body systems or have an interest in understanding complex protein structures at work within our immune system – this print is sure to captivate your imagination!
