Colorful Representation of a Protein Structure

This illustration displays the intricate three-dimensional structure of a protein molecule. Different colors, following a spectrum, are used to clearly delineate the various secondary structures, such as the coiled alpha-helices and flattened beta-sheets, along with the connecting loops. It's a common visualization method in biochemistry to understand how these essential biological components fold into their specific functional shapes.
