Phage Plastic Model Chromosomes such as the phosphate group

such as the phosphate group within the DNA backbone and in the head component of phospholipids

Explore the semi-conservative replication of DNA

Fold and twist the 1-meter-long modeling tie into alpha helices or beta sheets

and the glucose transport protein within the context of cellular membranes

Phage Plastic Model Chromosomes such as the phosphate groupExplore the complex capsid architecture of the T 4 Bacteriophage with our dynamic model to determine why phages may be the next technology to combat antibiotic resistance. Focus on the unique assembly of the viral collar, sheath, baseplate, and spikes serve as an injection system for viral nucleic acid into a bacterial host. Explain how iron is incorporated into the tail fibers to increase rigidity in these structures.
