Insulin mRNA to Protein Kit©
Product Code: INSFK
$72
Your students can connect protein synthesis to blood sugar regulation as they fold their own insulin model.
⚠ Warning
Description
Insulin is an ideal protein to engage your students in homeostasis and protein synthesis, including post-translational processing of a protein. Students will:
- Analyze a bioinformatics map to determine the nucleotide sequence
- Explore how mRNA is translated into a precursor form
- Discover how the precursor form is processed
- Fold the final, functional protein
