Coagulation factor complex molecule C014 / 0139
Coagulation factor complex molecule. Molecular model showing the interaction between coagulation factor VIII (FVIII, pink, blue and yellow) and factor IXa (FIXa, cream and grey). The secondary structures (ribbons) of the molecules are shown, with the primary structure (atoms, spheres) of the active site of the factor IXa enzyme shown. These proteins are involved in the coagulation cascade, the physiological process that leads to blood clotting in the case of an injury. This complex of FVIII and FIXa activates factor X in both the extrinsic and intrinsic activation pathways

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Coagulation factor complex molecule C014 / 0139. The image beautifully depicts the interaction between coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and factor IXa (FIXa), two vital proteins involved in the coagulation cascade, which is responsible for blood clotting in case of injury. The pink, blue, and yellow ribbons represent the secondary structures of FVIII, while the cream and grey ribbons symbolize FIXa. At the heart of this molecular dance lies the primary structure of FIXa's active site, depicted as atoms enclosed within spheres. This enzymatic region plays a crucial role in activating factor X through both extrinsic and intrinsic activation pathways. As we delve into this artwork on a white background, we are reminded of its significance in biology and biochemistry. These compounds are not merely glycoproteins or molecules; they hold immense power over our bloodstream's coagulation system. Factor VIII also goes by various names such as antihaemophilic globulin or Christmas factor due to its involvement in hemophilia A. Ramon Andrade's masterful illustration invites us to appreciate the complexity hidden within our bodies' biochemical processes. It reminds us that even at a microscopic level, life operates with precision and purpose. Let this mesmerizing visual serve as a testament to science's ability to unravel nature's mysteries and pave the way for advancements in medicine and healthcare worldwide.
