Erythropoietin hormone molecule F006 / 9257
Erythropoietin. Molecular model of the human erythropoietin (EPO) hormone. Erythropoietin regulates blood oxygen levels in the body, when levels are low it is released to stimulate the formation of red blood cells. It is used illegally as a performance-enhancing drug

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 print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Erythropoietin hormone, also known as EPO. The image portrays a detailed model of this essential protein that plays a crucial role in regulating blood oxygen levels within the human body. Erythropoietin is released when blood oxygen levels are low, stimulating the production of red blood cells to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen throughout our system. However, despite its vital function, this hormone has unfortunately been misused as an illegal performance-enhancing drug. The white background highlights the complexity and elegance of this biological molecule, with its alpha helix and beta sheet structures forming a visually stunning pattern. Its tertiary structure further emphasizes its importance in maintaining proper bodily functions. This artwork serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by biochemistry and medical research in understanding and harnessing the potential benefits of molecules like Erythropoietin. It symbolizes both progress and caution in pharmaceutical advancements while shedding light on proteomics and healthcare practices. Displayed here is not just an illustration but rather a representation of scientific exploration into how our bodies regulate themselves at a molecular level. This print captures both beauty and knowledge, inviting viewers to appreciate the wonders found within our own biology.
