Hepatitis C
Silver necklace inspired by the Nobel Prize 2020 in Physiology or Medicin. It shows Hepatitis C virus; a part of the lipid envelope around the icosahedral protein shell in thin silver plate.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2020 was awarded to Harvey J. Alter, Charles M. Rice och Michael Houghton for the discovery of Hepatitis C virus. The Hepatitis C virus is a small enveloped RNA virus. The virus particle consists of a lipid membrane envelope. Within the envelope is an icosahedral core and inside the core is the single-stranded RNA molecule.
Caffeine, lying
Lying pendant with the caffeine molecule in 1.2 mm silver wire with O atoms as silver balls.
Caffeine is a stimulant and is found naturally in coffee and tea. Caffeine may also be added to change the flavor and taste.
Oxytocinnål
Jacket pin/brooch in silver with dopamine molecule in 1.2 mm silver wire. med oxytocin molekylen i 1.2 mm silvertråd.
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and normally produced by the hypothalamus. It is released during physical contact, hugs, sex, childbirth and breastfeeding. It’s a feel-good hormone and is usually called the “Love hormone”.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1955.
Small enamelled oxytocin
Small pendant of oxytocin in 1.5 mm silver wire. Length of the pendulum: 4 cm. The protein wire is colored in the colors of the rainbow, from blue (first amino acid) to red (last amino acid).
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and normally produced by the hypothalamus. It is released during physical contact, hugs, sex, childbirth and breastfeeding. It’s a feel-good hormone and is usually called the “Love hormone”.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1955.
Estradiol
Pendant with estradiol in 1.2 mm silver wire with the O-atoms as oxidized silver balls.
Estradiol is an estrogen steroid hormone and the major female sex hormone. Estradiol is usually considered a female sex hormone, but is also found in men.
Enameled oxytocin
Pendant of oxytocin in 1.5 mm silver wire. Length of the pendulum: 5.5 cm. The protein wire is colored in the colors of the rainbow, from blue (first amino acid) to red (last amino acid).
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and normally produced by the hypothalamus. It is released during physical contact, hugs, sex, childbirth and breastfeeding. It’s a feel-good hormone and is usually called the “Love hormone”.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1955.
Enameled MS2 coat protein
Pendant of MS2 coat protein in 1.2 mm silver wire. The protein wire is colored in the colors of the rainbow, from blue (first amino acid) to red (last amino acid).
MS2 is a bacterial virus. This jewelry shows one of 180 identical coat proteins forming the viral shell that protects the nucleic acid. This was my first crystal structure and the first three-dimensional structure of a bacterial virus coat protein.
Enameled glucagon
Pendant of glucagon in 1.5 mm silver wire. The protein wire is colored in the colors of the rainbow, from blue (first amino acid) to red (last amino acid).
Glucagon is a blood sugar-regulating hormone. It stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose that raises blood sugar levels.
Enameled Protein A
Pendant of a Protein A domain in 1.2 mm silver wire. The protein thread is colored in the colors of the rainbow, from blue (first amino acid) to red (last amino acid).
Protein A is a protein found in the cell wall of the bacteria Staphylicoccus areus. The protein is composed of five homologous domains that fold into a three-helix bundle. Each domain is able to bind immunoglobulins.
Metformin
Pendant with metformin in 1.2 mm silver wire with the N-atoms as a blue enameled silver balls.
Metformin is believed to be the most prescribed medication for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
