Orexin-A
The silver necklace shows the three-dimensional structure of orexin-A in 1.2 mm silver wire.
Orexin-A is a neuropeptide that regulates appetite and wakefulness.
Silver angel
Silver angel formed in 1.5mm silver wire to hang in the Christmas tree
Capsaicin
Silver necklace inspired by the Nobel Prize 2021 in Physiology or Medicin.
Nobelpriset tilldelades D. Julius och A. Patapoutian för deras upptäckter av receptorer för temperatur och beröring. D. Julius använde sig av ämnet kapsaicin i chilipeppar, som framkallar känslan av hetta, för att identifiera ett protein som registrerar värme i hudens nervtrådar.
The jewelry shows the capsaicin molecule in silver wire with the oxygen atoms as silver balls and the nitrogen atom as oxidized silver ball together with a small red enamelled silver chili.
Neuropeptid Y
The silver necklace shows the three-dimensional structure of neuropeptide Y in 1.2 mm silver wire.
Neuropeptide Y is a 36 amino acid long neuropeptide in the central nervous system. It is one of the most potent appetite-regulating neuropeptides found in the brain. It stimulates food intake and increases the motivation to eat.
Enameled insulin
The jewelry shows the three-dimensional structure of insulin in 1.2 mm silver wire. The two protein threads, A & B, are enamelled yellow and red respectively.
Insulin is a hormone which lowers blood sugar levels.Sir Frederick Banting and John McLeod were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1923 for the discovery of insulin. F. Sanger för att ha bestämt insulinets aminosyrasekvens, en upptäckt som var grundläggande för framställningen av syntetiskt insulin.
Dynorfin A
The silver necklace shows the three-dimensional structure of dynorphin A in 1.2 mm silver wire.
Dynorphin A is a small opioid peptide used to treat chronic pain.
AmmTX3
The silver necklace shows the three-dimensional structure of a scorpion toxin AmmTX3 produced by Androctonus mauretanicus in 1.2 mm silver wire.
The toxin is known for its ability to act as a specific potassium channel blocker.
CRISPR
Silver necklace inspired by the Nobel Prize 2020 in Chemistry. It shows CRISPR with guide-RNA & dsDNA.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 was awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing”. Using genome editing researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. A technology that can lead to new cancer therapies and opportunities to cure hereditary diseases.
Sagittarius A* needle
Jacket pin/brooch in silver inspired by the Nobel Prize 2020 in Physics. It shows Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, and the orbits of the brightest stars closest to the middle of the Milky Way.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe, the black hole.
