Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)

Form a 3D molecular structure model of Trimethylamine N-oxide ( TMAO) from Authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo.

Trimethylamine (TMAO) is the compound that causes the characteristic fishy smell in fish. Its concentration in muscle increases with increasing depth & may act as a pressure counteractant allowing protein metabolism to be maintained. For more information, see Scientific American, April 2014 & abstract for the Society for Integrative & Compartive Biology 2013 Annual Meeting.

A molecular model of Trimethylamine N-oxide 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.
