DNA model kit, 12 layer, advanced
This 12-layer model (one complete turn of the double helix) is designed for self-assembly, with the double helix structure becoming self-evident as the model is constructed.
Components include colour coded bases (G,C,A and T), deoxyribose and phosphate groups, as well as a display stand.
The model may be assembled on the stand for display, or laid flat for a demonstration of unzipping and replication.
It is also possible to combine this DNA model with an RNA model to explain transcription and protein synthesis.
Structural details include the major groove-minor groove of the double helix, and correct representation of the hydrogen bonds between the bases, G+C and A+T. Assembly instructions are included.
Dimensions: Approx 24cm (height) x 11cm (diameter)
Scale: 1cm : 2 Å
Kit includes:
- 6 x Bases (each of G,C A and T)
- 24 x Deoxyribose
- 24 x Phosphate
- 1 x display stand
