Heterotrimeric G protein complex molecule
Heterotrimeric G protein complex molecule. Computer model showing the secondary structure of a heterotrimeric G protein complex. Alpha-helices are red and beta sheets are yellow. This protein has three different subunits (heterotrimer), alpha, beta and gamma. G proteins, or guanine nucleotide binding proteins, are molecular switches involved in signal transduction. Heterotrimeric G proteins relay signals from cell surface receptors to their effectors, including ion channels and enzymes, within a cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a computer model of a Heterotrimeric G protein complex molecule, revealing its intricate secondary structure. The alpha-helices are depicted in vibrant red, while the beta sheets shimmer in a striking yellow hue. Comprising three distinct subunits - alpha, beta, and gamma - this heterotrimer acts as a molecular switch involved in signal transduction. Signal transduction is an essential process through which cells communicate with each other. In this case, the heterotrimeric G proteins play a crucial role by relaying signals from cell surface receptors to various effectors within the cell itself. These effectors can include ion channels and enzymes that regulate important cellular functions. The complexity of this protein's structure highlights the intricacies of biochemical processes occurring within living organisms. It serves as a testament to the remarkable world of biochemistry and molecular biology. Through advanced computer artwork techniques, Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this molecular model's essence. This image not only offers insight into the structural composition of such compounds but also provides scientists with valuable visual tools for further research and understanding.
