Student Activity Build a small protein and alter it to form new proteins. In this activity, you'll build a model of a protein with four helix units. Attach the cotton balls to the Velcro an inch apart from each other. Position four tubes together so that the cotton balls of one tube touch the Velcro strip of another. They should be able to hold together this way.
Scientists refine understanding of protein folding and design.
