Human beings first identified the hormone melatonin in 1958. The chemical compound's formula (C13H16N2O2; CAS: 73-31-4) enables it to regulate human sleep patterns, influencing wakefulness throughout the day. It's commonly used as a remedy for disrupted sleep caused by jet lag or shift work changes, yet its benefits are somewhat uncertain. Minimal side effects can occur and include feeling drowsy, headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and having distorted dreams. Melatonin plays an integral role in various biological processes such as regulating human circadian rhythms, influencing blood pressure levels, and governing seasonal reproductive cycles. Melatonin can also be naturally found within various types of foods. This particular chemical compound is showcased through three different standard models and includes a simulated electrostatic (van der Waals) surface visualization. The complete model can be manipulated using C4D software as it comes with all the editable components. It features only metaball objects, which makes this whole design entirely edit-able.
