Myoglobin protein
Myoglobin. Computer model of the protein myoglobin that contains the iron-containing haem group (not seen). Myoglobin consists of a chain of 153 amino acids folded into a globin molecule that has a similar function to the globin units that are found in haemoglobin. The haem group surrounds an iron atom that can temporarily bind to oxygen and store it for later use. Myoglobin is found in muscle tissue, where the stored oxygen is used during strenuous exercise. The structure of the globin protein protects the haem group (a coenzyme) from being oxidised and destroyed by the oxygen it carries. Myoglobin has a molecular weight of 17, 800

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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-generated model of the myoglobin protein, highlighting its intricate structure and essential role in our bodies. Myoglobin is a vital muscle protein consisting of 153 amino acids intricately folded into a globin molecule. Although the iron-containing haem group is not visible in this image, it surrounds an iron atom capable of temporarily binding to oxygen for storage purposes. Myoglobin acts as a protective reservoir for oxygen within muscle tissue, ensuring its availability during intense physical activity or strenuous exercise. The globin protein's unique configuration shields the haem group from oxidation and destruction caused by the very oxygen it carries. With a molecular weight of 17,800, myoglobin plays a crucial part in metabolic processes by facilitating oxygen transport to muscles. This remarkable coenzyme safeguards the reserves needed for energy production during demanding workouts. The visual representation presented here combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair, employing computer artwork to illustrate this complex biochemical compound at the molecular level. This graphic depiction offers insights into proteomics and biochemistry while shedding light on how proteins like myoglobin contribute to our overall well-being. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic masterpiece that celebrates the wonders of science and nature intertwined.
