Penicillin drug molecule
Penicillin. Computer graphic of part of a molecule of penicillin, an antibiotic drug. The spheres represent atoms and are colour-coded as: carbon (green), oxygen (red), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue) and sulphur (yellow). The atoms are joined by atomic bonds. Penicillin, like all antibiotics, is an anti-bacterial drug. Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928 after he observed that Penicillium notatum mould prevented the growth of bacteria. Since then, many types of penicillins from a range of fungi have been isolated and manufactured for medical use. Graphic of a molecule from a Penicillium sp. mould

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a penicillin drug molecule. In this computer graphic representation, each sphere represents an atom and is color-coded to distinguish carbon (green), oxygen (red), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue), and sulphur (yellow). The atoms are connected by atomic bonds, forming a complex structure that embodies the power of this antibiotic drug. Penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, revolutionized medicine after he observed its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. This breakthrough led to the isolation and production of various types of penicillins from different fungi for medical use. As one of the most widely used antibiotics today, penicillin has saved countless lives by effectively combating bacterial infections. The image not only highlights the scientific significance but also emphasizes the artistry behind molecular structures. Its rounded circular shape creates a visually pleasing composition that merges science with aesthetics. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, there is elegance in nature's design. This print from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into biochemistry and pharmaceutical advancements without mentioning any commercial applications. It celebrates the remarkable achievements made in understanding molecules like penicillin while inviting us to appreciate their profound impact on our health and well-being.
