Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6. Computer model of a molecule of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Atoms are represented as rods and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (purple) and oxygen (orange). This vitamin is found in a wide variety of foods, including poultry, fish, liver, vegetables, yeast and bananas. It is essential for the synthesis of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Deficiency of vitamin B6 is rare but may be caused by the use of hormonal contraceptives. Symptoms of deficiency include depression, insomnia, water retention and the inability to process glucose

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate computer model of a molecule of Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine. The atoms are brilliantly represented as rods and color-coded to distinguish carbon (blue), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (purple), and oxygen (orange). Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient found in a diverse range of foods including poultry, fish, liver, vegetables, yeast, and bananas. The significance of this vitamin lies in its crucial role in amino acid synthesis - the fundamental building blocks of proteins. While deficiency in Vitamin B6 is rare, it can occur due to the use of hormonal contraceptives. Symptoms associated with its deficiency include depression, insomnia, water retention, and impaired glucose processing. This visually stunning image not only highlights the structural beauty but also emphasizes the importance of this water-soluble vitamin for our overall well-being. It serves as a reminder that even at a molecular level, nature's wonders continue to astound us. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this remarkable artwork through their expertise in scientific photography. This photograph provides valuable insights into biochemistry and medicine while showcasing the intricate details within a single biological compound. It stands as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic representation within the realm of molecular structures.
