Amino Acid Starter Kit© transcription and biochemistryYour students will be so engaged, they wont even notice how complex their learning is. Working collaboratively, groups of students explore the chemical properties of amino acids to guide them as they fold their own protein. Self correcting and intuitive, this kit results. As they begin to realize that DNA is a code for amino acid sequences that ultimately determine protein structure, their confidence soars! Students will: Examine patterns within and
