Giant DNA Model<br />
At nearly 90 cm in height, this DNA<br />
Molecule is ideally suited to<br />
the classroom environment.<br />
Magnetic connectors,<br />
representing hydrogen<br />
bonds, permit<br />
the two strands of the<br />
double helix to unzip<br />
completely, evoking<br />
the mechanism of DNA<br />
replication, and RNA synthesis<br />
(genetic transcription).<br />
Removable nucleotides<br />
let students experience<br />
first hand why a larger<br />
purine base must always<br />
pair with a smaller<br />
pyri mi dine base, and<br />
9982-1005559<br />
that base pairs are<br />
complementary –<br />
adenine pairing with thymine and guanine pairing with cytosine. Nonseparable<br />
atoms connected by permanent flexible “bonds” form the sugarphosphate<br />
backbone of the molecule. Encompassing six base pairs the<br />
double helix is mounted on a wooden base and can be rotated.<br />

Nucleic Acid Building Blocks<br />
Coloured units (representing phosphoric<br />
acids, purines and pyrimidines)<br />
for constructing DNA, t-RNA<br />
and RNA helices. Also useful for<br />
explain ing replication and transcription.<br />

Advanced miniDNA<br />
12 Base RNA<br />
Easily assemble this single strand<br />
molecule which consists of the<br />
4 bases, as in DNA, and Uracil. This<br />
kit contains 12 bases, equivalent to<br />
4 codons in a single strand model<br />
of messenger RNA as well as 2 “clover<br />
leaf” shaped Transfer RNA parts<br />
and 2 amino-acid parts. Together<br />
with the 12 layer Advanced miniD-<br />
NATM kit it can be used to model<br />
the creation of RNA by transcription.<br />
Furthermore, it provides<br />
hands-on investigation into protein<br />
synthesis known as translation.<br />
Contents:<br />
3 Uracil (light blue)<br />
3 Adenine (blue)<br />
3 Guanine (green)<br />
3 Cytosine (yellow)<br />
12 Ribose (red)<br />
12 Phosphate (purple)<br />

DNA-RNA<br />
The small DNA-RNA model shows<br />
the double helix and how the molecules<br />
split at the centre of the<br />
base pairs.<br />
Items:<br />
• 28 coloured tubes (Guanine red,<br />
Cytosine green, Thymine blue,<br />
Adenine grey)<br />
• 12 white two prong centre, which<br />
represents the hydrogen bond<br />
between the base pairs<br />
• 28 black trigonal atom centres<br />
which represent sugar<br />
• 25 red two prong atom centres,<br />
which represent phosphate<br />
groups<br />
• 50 yellow tubes that link the<br />
phosphate groups to the sugar<br />
rings<br />
• Wooden base with support rod<br />
are included in the kit<br />

DNA Double Helix<br />
3 coils of the DNA double helix,<br />
consisting of nucleic acids, to demonstrate<br />
base pairing. At the top<br />
end is attached one RNA cord, to<br />
show the basis of transcription.<br />

Minit Proview DNA model<br />
This detailed teaching model uses<br />
coloured atoms and bonds to help<br />
pupils understand the chemical<br />
structure of DNA. Students can<br />
work in groups to create and study<br />
the subassemblies: Thymine-Adenine;<br />
Cytosine-Guanine, sugar rings<br />
and phosphate groups which can<br />
then be brought together to make<br />
the finished model – nearly 1m<br />
high (width 30 cm). 15 base pairs<br />
show more than one turn of the<br />
double helix and major and minor<br />
grooves and illustrate the chemical<br />
composition and types of bonding.<br />
The model hangs between two<br />
plates from clear strings and can be<br />
supported by an optional display<br />
stand.<br />
Contents:<br />
880 atoms, 1,200 bonds, support<br />
plates for hanging, assembly instructions<br />
and worksheet in English.<br />
