Time for K in the #AlphabetOfMolecules. I made a poll to choose between ketamine and kappa-casein, it came back 50:50! so I made both!! thanks to @jlauher.bsky.social and @drstevecohen.bsky.social for the suggestions. So we are on to L ... what would you'd like to see? 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #CompChemSky #cinema4D

‪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: 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬

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🙂 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #CompChemSky

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

😂...it is difficult coming up with a molecule starting with the letter J!....also, I did capsaicin last time for C. any other thoughts for J?

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? 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #compchemsky

Anna Tanczos@scicommstudios· Feb 23

Thanks for the suggestion... and I agree, insulin is a great one, but this was the letter I in the previous alphabet, here it is.

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 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #compchemsky

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... 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #compchemsky

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.

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 💊🐡🧫🧪⚗️🧶🧬 #compchemsky

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.
