Lysine Amino Acid Molecular Structure - 3D Visualization #2218611 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D model depicts lysine, a basic α-amino acid with a positively charged ε-amino group in its side chain at physiological pH. Atoms are color-coded: black for carbon, white for hydrogen, blue for nitrogen, and red for oxygen, clearly illustrating the molecule’s backbone and functional groups. The structure emphasizes lysine’s role in protein synthesis, enzyme catalysis, and epigenetic regulation via histone modification.

Used in educational science pages, biochemistry textbooks, molecular biology resources, and research presentations to illustrate amino acid structure; targets students, educators, and researchers seeking visual understanding of proteinogenic amino acids.
