Biological Sciences Molecular Model Set
Product Code : EL-MM-10998
Quick answer: The Biological Sciences Molecular Model Set is a molecular model kit for building the small molecules of biology, such as glucose, galactose, amino acids, fatty acids and nucleotide parts. It contains 34 atoms of seven elements, open and compact bond links, and three pink paddles for R groups. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the model set is used in teaching
Students often find it hard to picture how atoms join in the molecules they meet in nutrition, respiration and genetics. With this set, one student or a pair working under teacher supervision builds each molecule by hand, checking the number of bonds on every atom, and can then compare an open ball-and-link model with a compact model of the same structure.
The three flat pink paddles stand for R groups, so a single amino acid backbone can represent any amino acid and the idea of a variable side chain becomes clear.
One kit is enough for monosaccharides such as glucose and galactose, simple aldoses and ketoses, functional groups, triglycerides, phospholipids, saturated and unsaturated fats, amino acids, pyrimidines and the building blocks of DNA and RNA. With two or three kits, students can join units into disaccharides, form peptide links, and lay out the reactions of photosynthesis and respiration.

Frequently asked questions
What can be built with one Biological Sciences Molecular Model Set?
Monosaccharides such as glucose and galactose, amino acids, pyrimidines, DNA and RNA building blocks, triglycerides, phospholipids and saturated or unsaturated fats, as well as common functional groups.
What do the pink paddles represent?
They are R groups, the variable side chains in amino acids and other organic structures, so one model can stand for a whole family of compounds.
Why use more than one kit?
Two or three kits give enough atoms to join units together, for example into disaccharides or peptide links, or to model the reactions of photosynthesis and respiration.
