Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen F006 / 9561
Thrombin complexed with fibrinogen, molecular model. The thrombin molecules (beige, right and left) are bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule (down centre). The fibrinogen chains are the beta and gamma chains. Both structures are the ones found in humans. Thrombin is an enzyme involved in the blood coagulation (clotting) process. It converts fibrinogen (a soluble plasma glycoprotein synthesised in the liver) to fibrin, a protein that is polymerised to form a mesh, or clot, (with platelets) over a wound site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of thrombin complexed with fibrinogen F006/9561. The beige-colored thrombin molecules, positioned on both sides, are firmly bound to the central part of the fibrinogen molecule that runs down the center. In this model, we can clearly observe the beta and gamma chains of fibrinogen, which accurately represent their human counterparts. Thrombin is a vital enzyme involved in the blood coagulation process. Its primary function is to convert soluble plasma glycoprotein fibrinogen into fibrin, a protein that forms a mesh or clot over wounds when polymerized together with platelets. This crucial mechanism helps prevent excessive bleeding and aids in wound healing. The white background beautifully accentuates this stunning illustration's details and highlights its significance in biology, research, medicine, and haematology fields. With its precise depiction of molecular structures such as alpha helixes and beta sheets, this image serves as an invaluable tool for understanding clot formation at a molecular level. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork represents cutting-edge proteomics research within healthcare and biochemistry domains. It provides an insightful glimpse into one aspect of our body's remarkable ability to maintain hemostasis—a fundamental process essential for our survival.
