Pepsin stomach enzyme C016 / 2835
Pepsin stomach enzyme, molecular model. Pepsin is a protease enzyme that is secreted as part of gastric juice into the stomach in an inactive form known as pepsinogen. When this form comes into contact with hydrochloric acid it is converted into the active form that hydrolyses proteins into smaller polypeptides (peptones). The structure shown here is porcine (pig) pepsin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Pepsin, a vital enzyme found in the stomach. Against a striking black background, this illustration depicts the porcine (pig) pepsin, highlighting its significance in the process of digestion. Pepsin is secreted as an inactive form called pepsinogen and becomes activated upon contact with hydrochloric acid present in gastric juice. Once activated, it plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides known as peptones through hydrolysis. The detailed representation of this macromolecule offers insight into its complex composition and biological function. With its elegant design and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork provides a visual understanding of how pepsin contributes to our digestive system's efficiency. Beyond its scientific value, this image serves as a reminder of the wonders hidden within nature's building blocks. It highlights the beauty that lies within biochemical structures and emphasizes their importance in sustaining life processes. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print combines artistry with scientific accuracy to create an engaging piece suitable for both educational purposes and aesthetic appreciation. Whether you are passionate about biology or simply fascinated by molecular structures, this image invites you to explore the intricate world of enzymes like pepsin.
