Cholesterol
Cholesterol. Surface maps (wire-frame and colour-coded) of the electrostatic potential around a cholesterol molecule (C27. H46.O). Orange areas are due to carbon atoms, yellow areas due to hydrogen atoms, and the red area (lower left) is due to the oxygen atom. Cholesterol is a lipid, a fat-like substance, though chemically it is a sterol, a type of alcohol. It is an important cell chemical, and plays a crucial role in the synthesis of bile salts and hormones, and in transporting fats in the bloodstream. High blood levels of cholesterol are thought to raise the risk of atherosclerosis, the build-up of fatty deposits on artery walls. This is a major cause of heart attack and stroke

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate surface maps of the electrostatic potential surrounding a cholesterol molecule. The wire-frame and colour-coded visuals provide a detailed representation of this essential cell chemical, revealing its complex structure. Carbon atoms are depicted in vibrant orange, hydrogen atoms in striking yellow, and the oxygen atom stands out with its intense red hue. Cholesterol, although classified as a sterol rather than a lipid chemically, is commonly known as a fat-like substance. Its significance lies in its crucial role within our bodies - it aids in synthesizing bile salts and hormones while also facilitating the transportation of fats through our bloodstream. However, elevated levels of cholesterol have been linked to an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis refers to the accumulation of fatty deposits on artery walls which can lead to severe health complications such as heart attacks and strokes. Understanding these molecular structures helps scientists comprehend how cholesterol interacts within our body's metabolic processes. This stunning image provides valuable insights into organic chemistry and biochemistry by showcasing various compounds, atoms, molecules, and their interactions at an atomic level. It serves as both an educational tool for students studying biology or chemistry and a visually appealing piece that sparks curiosity about the intricacies of life at a microscopic scale.
