Methionine Molecular Structure - Essential Amino Acid Visualization #3502 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D rendering depicts the methionine amino acid, featuring a central alpha carbon bonded to an amino group (blue), carboxyl group (red), hydrogen (white), and a thioether-containing side chain with a yellow sulfur atom. The spatial arrangement illustrates its chiral nature and biochemical reactivity, crucial for protein synthesis and metabolism. The model uses standard CPK coloring for atomic identification.

Used in educational websites, biochemistry textbooks, scientific publications, and molecular modeling tools to illustrate amino acid structure; targets students, researchers, and educators seeking visual understanding of proteinogenic amino acids.
