Mighty Model Channel Protein Collection^©

Aquaporin Mighty Model Activity Slide Deck

Investigate how water moves across a membrane and how heavy metals interfere in this phenomenon-based activity.

Aquaporin Protein Exploratorium Activity Slide Deck 

Use our interactive digital environment to investigate multiple representation of the same amino acid sequence to derive how the properties of side chains determine a protein 3D shape.

Channel Proteins Collection Activity Slide Deck

Learn about protein structure as they compare three membrane channels. This activity can be used with just the Aquaporin Mighty Model, or all three channel proteins!
