SB42167M
RNA/Protein Synthesis Kit
Use this 24-piece kit to make single-strand models of messenger RNA carrying
the genetic code (CODONS), and component parts to represent transfer
RNA and an amino acid. Also can be used to demonstrate the process of
protein synthesis known as TRANSLATION. Kit includes: six Uracil (U) in light
blue, six Adenine (A) in blue, six guanine (G) in green, six cytosine in yellow,
12 ribose in dark red, 12 phosphate in purple, four amino acid parts, and
four transfer RNA parts. Grade 9 and up.
SB42167M — $47.05
DNA Model
This preassembled, true-to-life DNA
model is built to a scale of 10 cm to 1
nm and accurately depicts a 16 base
pair section of DNA. The phosphatedeoxyribose
backbone and the four
bases are represented by custom
plastic moldings that show the
shapes of the molecules in scale
and illustrate the bonding between
them. The model is supported by a
central pillar which can rotate on a
circular stand, and the phosphate
and deoxyribose components of the
backbone as well as the individual
base pairs can be removed for separate
examination. Model stands 24"
tall. Grade 7 and up.
Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.
SB45825M — $62.50
Instructional CD-ROM Only.

DNA structure. Includes step-by-step
instructions for assembly of DNA
models. Grades 7-12. Sh. wt. 0.31 lbs.
SB48437M CD-ROM — $23.75
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows ®
XP or higher, PowerPoint 2003 or
higher.
22-Layer Advanced Mini DNA Model
Shows all of the major and minor grooves. Can also be used to demonstrate replication.
Features 22 base pairs comprised of: 11 each of thymine (orange), adenine
(blue), guanine (green), and cytosine (yellow). Side chain: 44 each of deoxyribose
(red) and phosphate (purple). Approximate dimensions: 4 5 ⁄16" x 17 5 ⁄16". Includes
stand. Grades 9 and up. Sh. wt. 1.88 lbs.
