Science Take-Out® From DNA To Protein; Structure And Function

Create A Protein Model.

What do genes do? Model how the coded information in genes results in proteins that perform specific functions in the body. Transcribe the DNA code to make a messenger RNA code. Translate the RNA code to make a sequence of amino acids in a protein. Create a bead and chenille stem model of a folded protein. Explore how protein shapes affect proteins function in your body. This complete "dry lab" activity contains all required materials.
