Your students can connect protein synthesis to blood sugar regulation as they fold their own insulin model.

Insulin is an ideal protein to engage your students in homeostasis and protein synthesis, including post-translational processing of a protein. Students will:

  • Analyze a bioinformatics map to determine the nucleotide sequence
  • Explore how mRNA is translated into a precursor form
  • Discover how the precursor form is processed 
  • Fold the final, functional protein
Laminated maps, including a teacher mRNA map, are included. This is a perfect follow-up activity after students have used the Amino Acid Starter Kit© and the Map of the Human ß-Globin Gene©.
