Protein Folding / Enzyme Structure Function Kit #3

VIRTmac Cell Biology Manipulatives for Teachers and Students are a brilliant unifying set of models for teaching all aspects of Cell Biology.
> hands down the most cost effective teaching models on the market - nothing comes close!
> easily demonstrate dynamic and complex cell processes
> students are not passive observers during lessons
> students love to touch and manipulate the model
> covers curriculum for grades 8,9,10,11 and 12
> the term interactive is sometimes too easily used, but Virt Mac students can really get involved


Kit 3 lessons: protein folding, enzyme structure and function, induced-fit model, enzyme-substate complex, denatured protein, active sites, allosteric sites, competitive and noncompetitive inhibition.

The versatility of this magnetic manipulative set enables you to demonstrate the four levels of protein folding in three-dimensions. Build an alpha helix on your chalkboard or whiteboard with the layers built in 3-D.

This realistic representation clarifies any student misconceptions of protein folding. Using the same polypeptide chains produced in the protein folding, you can then demonstrate the induced fit model, enzyme substrate complex, denatured proteins, active sites, allosteric sites, as well as competitive and non competitive inhibitors. The kit contents reveal how the same molecules are used repeatedly to build simple to complex structures in different biological processes.

Partial assembly required. Includes a DVD with easy to follow instructions and video lessons.
