Computer graphic of a molecule of AMP
AMP. Computer graphic representation of a molecule of adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Atoms are depicted as spheres, joined by atomic bonds. Atoms are colour-coded: carbon (green), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (orange), phosphorus (yellow), hydrogen (white). The AMP molecule is a carrier of cell metabolic energy, and levels in the cell dictate rates of many biochemical pathways. This structure contains only one phosphate group (top right). When AMP gains two more phosphate groups it becomes ATP, the energy rich adenosine triphos- phate form. It now appears that many hormones exert their effect by first altering levels of AMP in the cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer graphic representation of a molecule known as adenosine monophosphate (AMP). The intricate structure is depicted with atoms represented as vibrant spheres, interconnected by atomic bonds. Each atom is color-coded to aid comprehension: carbon in green, nitrogen in blue, oxygen in orange, phosphorus in yellow, and hydrogen in white. AMP plays a crucial role as a carrier of cell metabolic energy within living organisms. The levels of AMP present within cells directly influence the rates at which numerous biochemical pathways occur. This particular AMP molecule consists of only one phosphate group located at the top right section. Interestingly, when AMP acquires two additional phosphate groups, it transforms into ATP – adenosine triphosphate – which is renowned for its energy-rich properties. It has recently been discovered that various hormones exert their effects by initially modulating the levels of AMP within cells. This visually stunning image provides an insightful glimpse into the world of organic chemistry and compounds. Its detailed depiction serves as a reminder of the complex molecular structures that underpin essential biological processes. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this print offers an artistic blend between science and aesthetics while shedding light on the fundamental workings occurring within our cellular machinery.
