Tubulin dimer, molecular model
Tubulin. Molecular model of a tubulin dimer. The beta-tubulin subunit (gold) is at top and the alpha-tubulin subunit (green) is at bottom. Polymers of alpha- and beta-tubulin make up microtubules, part of the cells cytoskeleton. Microtubules help to maintain cell shape, allow some cellular mobility and are involved in intracellular transport and nuclear division

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a tubulin dimer, an essential component in the intricate world of cellular biology. Against a pristine white background, this artwork beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of these tiny building blocks. The gold-colored beta-tubulin subunit gracefully rests atop its green alpha-tubulin counterpart, together forming polymers that make up microtubules within the cell's cytoskeleton. Microtubules play multiple crucial roles within cells - they help maintain cell shape, enable cellular mobility, and are involved in intracellular transport and nuclear division. This image serves as a visual reminder of their significance in maintaining the delicate balance required for proper cellular function. The meticulous artistry behind this illustration highlights various structural elements such as alpha helices, beta sheets, and space fill structures. Each cut-out sheet meticulously crafted to represent different aspects of tubulin's composition adds depth to this scientific masterpiece. While not affiliated with any specific company or commercial use, this print from Science Photo Library is more than just an artistic representation; it symbolizes the intersection between art and science. It invites viewers into the fascinating realm of biochemistry while showcasing the beauty hidden within our own cells' molecular intricacies.
