Art of structure of enzyme cytochrome C
Cytochrome C enzyme. Illustration of a model of the enzyme cytochrome C, important in the process of respiration. Cytochromes are proteins often regarded as enzymes. Here, one cytochrome C molecule is seen, made of 104 amino acids with a " heme" porphyrin ring containing iron (Fe). In the biochemical pathway of respiration, the valency of Fe2+ is converted to Fe3+ using oxygen, and with this electron transfer the energy carrier ATP is produced. Cytochromes are respiratory enzymes located on cell membranes such as in mitochondria, chloroplasts and endoplasmic reticulum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate art of the structure of enzyme cytochrome C. The illustration depicts a model of this crucial enzyme, which plays a vital role in the process of respiration. Cytochromes, often referred to as proteins with enzymatic properties, are at the forefront of this biochemical pathway. The image focuses on one molecule of cytochrome C, composed of 104 amino acids and featuring a remarkable "heme" porphyrin ring containing iron (Fe). In respiration's complex dance, oxygen converts the valency from Fe2+ to Fe3+, facilitating electron transfer and ultimately leading to the production of ATP - an essential energy carrier. Respiratory enzymes like cytochromes find their home on cell membranes within mitochondria, chloroplasts, and endoplasmic reticulum. Their presence is pivotal for sustaining life-sustaining processes. Through this artistic representation merged with scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library beautifully captures the essence and significance behind cytochrome C. This visual masterpiece delves into proteomics by exploring compounds and molecules that drive cellular functions. As we delve into this awe-inspiring artwork imbued with chemistry and biology, we gain a deeper appreciation for these fundamental building blocks that govern life itself. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that seamlessly merges artistry with scientific knowledge while shedding light on our understanding of enzymes like cytochrome C.
