What is Protein Modeling with Toobers and Pipe Cleaners about?

This document provides instructions for modeling protein structure using pipe cleaners or toobers. Students are asked to: 1. Draw two amino acids forming a peptide bond. 2. Model a protein by placing colored thumbtacks on a toober to represent different amino acid properties and allow the model to fold based on chemical interaction rules. 3. Compare their folded structure to others and explore how mutations could impact structure and function. 4. As an extension, students model the structure of a zin
