Best Answer

you can do it as follows:
URL ='http://structures.wishartlab.com/molecules/HMDB00126/image.png'
filename = 'test.png'
urlwrite(URL,filename)
y = imread(filename, 'BackgroundColor', [1 1 1]);
figure, imshow(y);
The problem here was to replace transparent pixels with some specific color. If we don't choose any specific color then MATLAB gives it black color
