Structural Visualization of Hemoglobin with Alpha Helices.

This detailed 3D model showcases the hemoglobin protein, a key component in the oxygen transport system of red blood cells. The rainbow-colored alpha helices represent the folded protein chains, illustrating the complex quaternary structure of hemoglobin.

The image also highlights the heme group, essential for binding oxygen, as shown in the darker regions inside the helices. Hemoglobin’s role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues is emphasized in the model, making it ideal for inclusion in biochemistry textbooks and educational materials focusing on protein function and structural biology.

We can provide sample images or create custom illustrations tailored to your projects. If you are looking for an illustration of this type, or from another subject area, you can contact us to discuss your needs.
