DNA Model Kit - Superior

Easy to construct the three dimensional model of DNA. Emphasizing the base pair sequence and function of DNA, the sturdy, colorful bases snap together in the correct sequence, and the pairs attach to a centerrod representing hydrogen bonds. Two flexible strands signifying alternating pentose and phosphate units attach to the end of each pair, forming the double helix. Once completed, model can be rotated on its sturdy base. Includes enough materials to construct one models. Supplied with manual.

Size 13 x 13 x 45 cm approx. Weight 250 g approx.

Base Pairing: The model emphasizes the importance of base pairing (A with T, and C with G) in DNA.

Double Helix: The two strands of the model twist around each other to form the characteristic double helix shape.

Hydrogen Bonds: The center rod represents the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together.

Pentose-Phosphate Backbone: The flexible strands represent the alternating pentose (sugar) and phosphate groups that form the backbone of DNA.

Sturdy Base: The completed model sits on a stable base, allowing for rotation and display.

Manual Included: The kit comes with instructions to guide the construction process.
