Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Calcitonin hormone molecule
Calcitonin hormone molecule. Computer model showing the structure of the human hormone calcitonin. Atoms are colour-coded spheres (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, nitrogen: blue, sulphur: yellow, and oxygen: red). Calcitonin is a linear polypeptide that is produced primarily by parafollicular cells (C-cells) in the thyroid gland. It acts to reduce blood calcium levels by opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the calcitonin hormone molecule, a vital component in human biology. The computer-generated model exhibits a mesmerizing array of color-coded spheres representing different atoms: dark grey for carbon, light grey for hydrogen, blue for nitrogen, yellow for sulphur, and red for oxygen. Against a pristine white background, this artful representation highlights the complexity and beauty found within biological systems. Calcitonin is primarily produced by parafollicular cells (C-cells) located in the thyroid gland. As an essential regulator in our bodies, it plays a crucial role in maintaining blood calcium levels by counteracting the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This linear polypeptide acts as a biochemical control mechanism to reduce excessive levels of calcium present in our bloodstream. The molecular model depicted here offers insight into how calcitonin functions at a microscopic level. Its three-dimensional visualization allows us to appreciate its space-filled structure and understand its interactions within our endocrine system. By studying such compounds on this molecular scale, scientists gain valuable knowledge about hormonal stimulation and regulation. This awe-inspiring artwork not only serves as an educational tool but also exemplifies the intersection between science and artistry. It captures both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal inherent in biochemistry research—a testament to humanity's ongoing exploration of nature's wonders.
