Maltose molecule
Maltose. Computer-generated molecular model of maltose (C12H22O11). Maltose is composed of carbon (green), hydrogen (grey-white) and oxygen (red). Maltose is a disaccharide (sugar) that is commonly produced by the action of amylase on starch or glycogen. Saccharides are comprised of rings of four or five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Attached around the ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups. Disaccharides comprise two monosaccharides joined together, in this case both are glucose. Maltose is used in brewing, soft drinks and foods

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated molecular model of the Maltose molecule (C12H22O11). The intricate structure is composed of carbon atoms depicted in vibrant green, hydrogen atoms in subtle grey-white, and oxygen atoms represented by striking red spheres. Maltose, a disaccharide or sugar, is commonly produced when amylase acts upon starch or glycogen. Saccharides are fascinating compounds consisting of rings formed by four or five carbon atoms with an oxygen atom incorporated within. Encircling the ring are hydroxyl (OH) groups that add to its complexity. In this particular case, maltose comprises two glucose monosaccharides joined together through chemical bonds. Widely utilized in brewing, soft drinks, and various foods, maltose plays a crucial role as a sweetening agent. This visually stunning artwork not only serves as an illustration but also represents the intricate world of biochemistry and molecular structures. The combination of precise tube-like representations and stick models creates a visually appealing graphic that highlights the significance of sugar molecules like maltose in our daily lives. This extraordinary print from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the essence of organic chemistry while showcasing the beauty hidden within these complex structures.
