Design and development of modular protein models as educational tools

Proteins form the main living unit of all organisms and are primarily composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur atoms bonded to each other and arranged in the form of a chain. It is highly imperative that students at the school level are made to understand the structure of these pro...

Description
Summary:Proteins form the main living unit of all organisms and are primarily composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur atoms bonded to each other and arranged in the form of a chain. It is highly imperative that students at the school level are made to understand the structure of these proteins. However due to the limitations of the educational tools already available in the market, this is not possible. Hence there is a need to overcome the flaws of the existing model.
