I completed my next handmade molecule: the anticoagulant, Arixtra.
Arixtra Particle
Since I mentioned a week ago, Arixtra is really a synthetic anti-coagulant medication that is linked to organic compounds within individuals. It is also recognized by its own genus title, fondaparinux although we usually called it Arixtra in my own doctoral study lab. It is really a carb having an overall total of five bands, which is regarding the natural carbs heparin and heparan sulfate, which are additionally used as anti-coagulants (though these molecules are considerably larger!)
From the architectural perspective, a fascinating facet about Arixtra is the fact that it has a lot of sulfates (the groups of red-colored and yellowish atoms within the design above). Sulphates are somewhat more prevalent in such types of carbs when compared with proteins for example my Endorphin Particle pendant. From your beader's perspective, this changes the color-balance of the bit, because a lot more of the size of the particle is adopted by sulfates rather than nitrogen atoms. However because my fellow-chemist buddy that commissioned this item especially required CPK colours, the large colour choices were from my own fingers. 
Substance Flexibility
Such as the Endorphin pendant, this bit is fairly versatile, the same as an actual molecule.
Actual molecules do, but, often favor special "poses" over the others, which could shift contingent upon their scenario. We aren't precisely sure which shape Arixtra favors in its molecular condition, although it may resemble a huge glob of atoms similar to this:
As Jewellery arixtra
Because this bit is an item d'art, it is not likely to be integrated into jewelry. But, it is about seven inches long, which is simply about the best duration for a band.
But because this piece is indeed asymmetrically sizing, and filled with branches of drops which may get captured on a wayward thread from a jumper, I had be considerably much more comfortable wearing this like a pendant. I pinned it to 1 of my jewellery busts to determine what it might appear to be like a pendant.
