Melatonin

Build a molecular structure model of the neurotransmitter/hormone Melatonin with Authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds

Melatonin is an important hormone across the biological kingdoms. In humans & other animals it is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan. It is important in circadian (biological) rhythms including sleep, reproduction & other daily, monthly or annual cycles. It is one of a few very important naturally occuring indoleamines.

A molecular model of Melatonin in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
