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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
