MUC5B molecule
MUC5B molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the protein MUC5B (mucin 5 subtype B). Mucins key characteristic is their ability to form gels. They are therefore a key component in most gel-like secretions, serving functions from lubrication to cell signalling to forming chemical barriers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the MUC5B molecule, also known as mucin 5 subtype B. The intricate structure of this protein is beautifully illustrated against a striking black background, emphasizing its importance in various biological processes. Mucins possess a remarkable ability to form gels, making them crucial components in numerous gel-like secretions found within our bodies. From lubrication to cell signaling and even forming chemical barriers, these proteins play diverse roles essential for our well-being. The ribbon-like representation of the MUC5B molecule highlights its secondary structure and provides an artistic touch to this scientific artwork. Its molecular model exhibits the complexity and sophistication that underlie its functionality. With implications spanning biochemistry and proteomics, this image serves as a visual reminder of the significance of mucous secretions in maintaining vital bodily functions. Moreover, it sheds light on the fascinating world of biomolecules and their intricate interactions within living organisms. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another masterpiece with this cut-out illustration, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and intricacy hidden within biology's building blocks. This print is not just visually stunning but also educates viewers about one of nature's most versatile substances - mucus - which acts as both a lubricant and protector throughout our bodies.
