Resin used in solid phase peptide synthesis A850 / 0042
Light micrograph of p-Methylbenzhydrylamine, an inert resin used in solid phase peptide synthesis; an amide group is attached to the resin allowing further amino acids to be built up in a chain. There are twenty standard amino acids, which form the basic building blocks of all living matter. Amino acids combine to form proteins. The linkage between two amino acids is called a peptide bond & the amino acids so joined are referred to as peptides. A protein molecule consists of anywhere from a hundred to several thousand amino acids, linked together to form polypeptide chains. Interference contrast. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of solid phase peptide synthesis. The image captures a light micrograph of p-Methylbenzhydrylamine, an inert resin crucial in this synthetic process. Attached to the resin is an amide group, which allows for the sequential addition of amino acids to form a chain. Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of all living matter, with twenty standard variants forming the basis for protein synthesis. Peptides are formed when two amino acids join together through a peptide bond. These peptides then combine further to create complex protein molecules consisting of hundreds or even thousands of amino acids linked together in polypeptide chains. The mesmerizing beauty lies within the details revealed by interference contrast microscopy at 200x magnification on a 35mm scale. The polarized light enhances our understanding and appreciation for this synthetic material's structure and composition. This image not only highlights the significance of resins like p-Methylbenzhydrylamine in chemical research but also emphasizes their role as essential tools in advancing our knowledge and exploration into various fields such as medicine, biochemistry, and genetics. Captured by POWER AND SYRED/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this photograph serves as a reminder that science can be both visually stunning and intellectually stimulating without commercial intentions.
