Vitamin K1 molecule C013 / 8903
Vitamin K1 molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of vitamin K1, also called phylloquinone. Atoms are represented as spheres: carbon (large, grey), hydrogen (small, grey) and oxygen (red). Vitamin K1 is an essential vitamin that is found in dark green leafy vegetables, meat, dairy products and eggs. It is necessary for blood clotting and bone growth. Deficiency can lead to uncontrolled internal bleeding, and mineral deposits on cartilage regions and on the inner walls of blood vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a Vitamin K1 molecule, also known as phylloquinone. The computer-generated model vividly displays the arrangement of atoms, with carbon depicted as large grey spheres, hydrogen as small grey spheres, and oxygen represented by vibrant red spheres. Vitamin K1 is an indispensable nutrient found abundantly in dark green leafy vegetables, meat, dairy products, and eggs. Its significance lies in its crucial role in blood clotting and bone growth processes within our bodies. A deficiency of this essential vitamin can have severe consequences such as uncontrolled internal bleeding and the formation of mineral deposits on cartilage regions and inner walls of blood vessels. The molecular composition showcased here offers a glimpse into the complex world of biochemistry and underscores the importance of maintaining a balanced diet to ensure optimal health. This visually stunning representation serves not only to educate but also captivate viewers with its intricate beauty. Ramon Andrade's 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this image that highlights both the scientific value and aesthetic appeal inherent in understanding chemical compounds like Vitamin K1. It reminds us that even at a microscopic level, nature's design is awe-inspiring and worthy of admiration.
