HIV drug molecule
Tenofovir AIDS drug molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) drug tenofovir. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded; carbon (green), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red), nitrogen (dark blue) and phosphorous (yellow). Tenofovir belongs to a class of drugs known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It slows the spread of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in the body by inhibiting reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that converts HIV RNA (ribonucleic acid) into viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that can be incorporated into human cells. Tenofovir is used in combination with other medications

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 a computer model of the HIV drug molecule, Tenofovir. The intricate structure is depicted with atoms represented as colorful spheres, each color symbolizing different elements. Carbon appears in vibrant green, hydrogen in pure white, oxygen in striking red, nitrogen in deep blue, and phosphorous shines bright yellow. Tenofovir belongs to a class of drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which play a crucial role in combating AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). By inhibiting reverse transcriptase - the enzyme responsible for converting HIV RNA into viral DNA that can infiltrate human cells - Tenofovir effectively slows down the spread of the notorious HIV virus within our bodies. Used alongside other medications as part of antiretroviral therapy, this remarkable compound has proven its efficacy against HIV infection. Its molecular composition and biochemical properties make it an essential weapon in fighting this devastating disease. The scientific significance behind this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its potential to advance medical research and understanding. With pharmaceutical compounds like Tenofovir paving the way for innovative treatments and breakthroughs, we are inching closer towards finding effective solutions against life-threatening diseases such as AIDS. This mesmerizing artwork serves as a reminder of the incredible progress made by scientists and researchers dedicated to improving global health outcomes.
