RNA Model
Product Code : JC-SL-5590
The RNA Model (SKU JC-SL-5590) is a construction model for teaching nucleic acid structure in school and college biology and chemistry. It uses colour-coded atom centres and tubes: black centres for the sugar, red two-prong centres for the phosphate groups, yellow tubes linking phosphate to sugar, coloured tubes for the bases and white two-prong centres for the hydrogen bonds between base pairs.
