Sodium potassium atpase pump

A stylized scientific clipart depiction of the sodium-potassium ATPase as a large asymmetric transmembrane pump protein embedded in the membrane. The complex has multiple bundled membrane-spanning helical segments forming a central ion-transport and ion-binding core, with two rounded or lobed protein regions and a prominent bulky cytoplasmic ATPase/catalytic head domain on one side. The overall form should clearly suggest directional transport with distinct inside-facing and outside-facing sides. Include small binding pockets or marked sodium and potassium binding regions within the central transport core and a compact ATP-binding site on the cytoplasmic side. Use mainly blue, teal, and gold tones, and a smooth rounded pump-like appearance.
