Mini DNA Molecular Model Kit - Protein Synthesis Kit: 24-base
Product Code : SCL-BLE-12609
These Mini DNA Molecular Model Kits provide an easy to understand
introduction to DNA structure. They comprise of abstract shaped, colour coded
parts to represent the nitrogenous bases, pentagonal sugar and pyramidal
phosphate component parts present in the DNA double helix. Each component is
designed so that it can only be attached in its correct position, e.g. Thymine
will only pair with Adenine.

In this kit, the strand moves to the Ribosome where it reacts with
another type of RNA called transfer RNA. Transfer RNA has a '; cloverleaf’-shaped
structure which is represented by a 3-prong unit. Transfer RNA carries an
amino-acid specific to the three bases of the anti-codon. During the process of
translation the mRNA temporarily forms base-pairs between the codons and
anticodons. The attached Amino-acid forms a peptide link with the adjacent
Amino-acid to form a protein.
