Protein Structure Tapestries
Description: A complex molecular structure with six distinct sections arranged in a circular, star-like pattern. Each section is rendered in a different vibrant color: purple, cyan, and green. The structure features intricate twists and turns of ribbon-like strands against a stark black background, conveying a sense of depth and scientific representation.
Description: The α2β2 haemoglobin tetramer with its four heme groups and central 2,3-BPG cavity, the chemical structure of heme B (Fe-protoporphyrin IX) and the sigmoid oxygen dissociation curve with P50 and left and right shifts. Part of the Atlas of Medical Science collection: a consistent series of scientific plates with a deep navy background, fine gold frame and precise English labels.
Description: A detailed anatomy of immunoglobulin G showing heavy and light chains, variable and constant domains, CDR loops, hinge region, disulfide bonds, the N-linked glycan and the Fab and Fc regions bound to an antigen. A lower panel illustrates the proteolytic fragments obtained with papain and pepsin. Part of the Atlas of Medical Science collection: a consistent series of scientific plates with a deep navy background, fine gold frame and precise English labels.
Description: The five antibody isotypes compared side by side: IgG, IgD and IgE monomers, secretory IgA dimer with J chain and secretory component, and the IgM pentamer. Each class is annotated with its heavy chain, molecular weight, serum abundance and key biological function. Part of the Atlas of Medical Science collection: a consistent series of scientific plates with a deep navy background, fine gold frame and precise English labels.
