Envie d’assembler des protéines et de l’ADN ?
Alors essayez et faites essayer ces deux kits (disponibles chez ThinkGeek), un excellent moyen de montrer que la nature aussi aime jouer aux Lego en assemblant tout un tas de petits machins qui ne servent à rien pour fabriquer des gros machins qui servent à quelque chose.
Kit de construction de protéines (Tangle) – A partir de 8 ans
Building molecules is fun and easy, so there are plenty of kits out there that let you connect little balls with little sticks. But what happens when you want to build a complex and twisty structure like a protein? Dr. Marcel Jaspars, a professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen joined forces with Tangled Creations toy company to create the Tangled Proteins Building Set.
Now you can learn about proteins hands-on by building them yourself! You can make Streptococcal Protein G, Ubiquitin, and ω – Conotoxin MVIIA with this kit. Build them up, take them apart, then build them over again for hours of research and play.
