Glutathione, molecular model
Glutathione. Molecular model of the antioxidant glutathione (GST). GST is a small protein molecule manufactured inside human cells from the amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It protects the cells from toxins such as free radicals. Atoms are colour-coded: sulphur (yellow), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red) and carbon (white). Hydrogen atoms have been omitted

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Glutathione, also known as GST, is a small protein molecule that plays a crucial role in protecting human cells from harmful toxins like free radicals. Manufactured within our own cells using the amino acids cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid, this remarkable compound acts as a shield against oxidative stress. The image beautifully highlights the structural composition of glutathione with its atoms color-coded for clarity: sulphur (yellow), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), and carbon (white). Hydrogen atoms have been omitted to enhance visibility. The ball-and-stick representation provides an insightful glimpse into the complex world of biochemistry. With its peptide bonds forming a tripeptide structure, this tiny yet mighty protein holds immense significance in biological systems. Its presence aids in maintaining cellular health by neutralizing harmful molecules and preventing damage caused by oxidation. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this extraordinary molecular model print that serves as a reminder of the vital role played by antioxidants in our bodies' defense mechanisms. This visually stunning depiction invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating realms of biology and chemistry while appreciating nature's ingenious protective designs at the molecular level.
