Meanwhile, in #AlphabetOfMolecules news, I am still looking for a molecule, large or small beginning with the letter K. Send an Artist Interaction prompt (reply😂) to let me know something you have researched or have interest in and I'll make a pic🙂 Here's a short video of the story so far:
💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬
Janus kinase complexed with cytokine receptor through a cell membrane. The sub-units of JAK are coloured as follows - FERM: orange, SH2: pink, pseudo-kinase: green, kinase: blue. Cell membrane: beige and underneath, out of focus, is the cytokine receptor: lilac, cytokine: yellow
This is Janus Kinase for J in the #AlphabetOfMolecules
Suggested by @zeinabrekad.bsky.social. Took me a while to choose between all of the great suggestions but decided on the protein as it has been all small molecules so far! so anyone got a suggestion for the letter K please🙂

Meanwhile, in #AlphabetOfMolecules news, I am still looking for suggestions for a molecule beginning with the letter J.
This is perhaps the hardest one to find....but some of you must have worked with a molecule/protein beginning with J??....or heard of one. let me know and I'll make a pic🙂

Time for the letter I in the #AlphabetOfMolecules. Thanks for the suggestion @floppleton.bsky.social 😀
Close up of inosine in the wobble position on the tRNA anticodon. It can form 3 wobble base pairs and is key to tRNA efficiency in protein synthesis. Any suggestions for J?

Histamine molecule visualised as spacefilled spheres. Carbon purple, nitrogen blue, hydrogen white. Surrounded by bright flecks representing pollen or other allergens.
Histamine for the letter H in the #AlphabetOfMolecules suggested a while ago now by @meghanazad.bsky.social
Anyone got a suggestion for the letter I?
Imagine I am an AI prompt- lets call it an 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗜nteraction prompt!🙂Tell me what you'd like to see & I will make an image

Estradiol inside the estrogen receptor, with main binding amino acids as fluffy pink clouds and a few bits of ribbon structure just about visible. Carbon light pink, oxygen red, hydrogen white
2′-Fucosyllactose seen here bound inside the 2'-fucosyllactose and 3-fucosyllactose binding protein from Bifidobacterium longum infantis Carbon: pale yellow, oxygen: pink, hydrogen: white. Ribbon structures in the background out of focus
Gamma linolenic acid, shown here as a ball and stick model with the carbons coloured/textured like oil supplement capsules (oxygen red and hydrogen white balls). Evening primrose seeds scattered on the floor underneath.
The next 3 in the 2025/26 #AlphabetOfMolecules. ...Moving forward you can contribute to the selections or just enjoy some colourful #SciArt .... E, F and G are: Estradiol, Fucosyllactose and Gamma-linolenic acid....H is coming soon...

Adenosine triphosphate, with blurry molecule in the foreground which is ATP losing one of its phosphates to give ADP. Carbon: grey, oxygen: red, nitrogen: blue, hydrogen: white and phosphorous: fiery to represent the fuel nature of ATP
Beta carotene molecule, ball and stick structure visible within larger spheres, with carrots blurry in the background.
A chloroform molecule floating in the air, next to a skull and crossbones resting on a cloth...presumably the cloth used to administer the fatal dose of chloroform!
Diazepam, the background is human serum albumin with the key binding amino acids blurry and the rest of the protein as a fuzzy pink ribbon structure. Diazepam is a ball and stick model, carbon=black, nitrogen=blue, hydrogen=white, oxygen=red, chlorine=green.
Planning to get back to building the 2025/26 #AlphabetOfMolecules. Here is a recap of where we got to, starting with the first 4. Moving forward you can contribute to the selections or just enjoy some colourful #SciArt . The 1st four are: ATP, β-carotene, chloroform and Diazepam

Long time without postins, been super busy, but here is a little deconstructed novacaine for now, before I can get back to the #AlphabetOfMolecules.

Gamma linolenic acid, shown here as a ball and stick model with the carbons coloured/textured like oil supplement capsules (oxygen red and hydrogen white balls). Evening primrose seeds scattered on the floor underneath.
G is for gamma linolenic acid, found in seed oils such as evening primrose .... a return to the 2025 #AlphabetofMolecules after a break to get some work done! thanks to @meghanazad.bsky.social for the suggestion🙂
Anyone got a molecular suggestion for the letter H?

2′-Fucosyllactose seen here bound inside the 2'-fucosyllactose and 3-fucosyllactose binding protein from Bifidobacterium longum infantis Carbon: pale yellow, oxygen: pink, hydrogen: white. Ribbon structures in the background out of focus
F is for 2′-Fucosyllactose in the 2025 #AlphabetofMolecules seen here bound inside the 2'-fucosyllactose and 3-fucosyllactose binding protein from Bifidobacterium longum infantis (6HUR.pdb). Ta for the suggestion @bridgetmcgann.medsky.social
Thoughts for the letter G??

Here is a recap on the first 4 in the 2025 #AlphabetOfMolecules, follow to see how it unfolds. You can contribute to the molecule selection list and find out which letters are hardest to find molecules for! or just enjoy some colourful #SciArt . New image weekly-ish....or sooner

Here is chloroform, for the letter C in the 2025 #AlphabetOfMolecules. Thanks to Pauly G @thegibbs.bsky.social for the suggestion.
What shall I do for the letter D??? all suggestions welcome😀

Beta carotene molecule, ball and stick structure visible within larger spheres, with carrots blurry in the background.
The letter B in the 2025 #AlphabetOfMolecules Thanks to Nick Fisher @nef.bsky.social for the suggestion of Beta-Carotene. Would anybody got a suggestion for the letter C?🙂

Here is the first in the 2025 #AlphabetOfMolecules.
I went with ATP (suggested by Concerned (Half-)Human Being @humanexistence.bsky.social) as I had an idea for how I wanted to do it and it is such a biologically important molecule...⬇️
