Dynamic DNA Kit©

A next generation teaching tool
Beginning—Easy to perform; requires little or no prior knowledge.
3D Molecular Designs. Twist! Untwist! Replicate! Transcribe! Now students can do it all with the Dynamic DNA Kit©. Whether making health-care decisions for themselves and their families or preparing for careers in medicine, research, or drug development, today's students need to understand DNA. Research shows that while students know DNA contains genetic information, they have trouble understanding how that genetic information is revealed and used. The kit helps students to:
Delve into DNA replication
Explore transcription
Understand how proteins bind to specific sites in the major groove
Visualize adenosine triphosphate, the universal currency of energy
Feel the inherent flexibility of DNA
Easily separate and reassemble the nucleotide's nitrogen base, sugar, and phosphate group
Identify the 5' to 3' direction of each strand
Kit equips 24 students working in groups of 4.
