Our popular foam protein kit introduces your students to enzymes. They will use the engaging foam model pieces and activities to identify the substances involved in enzymatic activity, explore how enzymatic reactions occur, demonstrate catabolism and anabolism, and much more.

• Simulate enzymatic actions.
• Explain enzymatic specificity.
• Investigate 2 types of enzyme inhibitors used in regulating enzymatic activity.
• Examine how an enzyme may affect activation energy.

Each 3-group set contains 30 foam pieces (6 gray enzymes, 3 red substrates, 3 tan incompatible substrates, 3 purple competitive inhibitors, 3 blue noncompetitive inhibitors, and 6 green pieces to show catabolism and 6 orange pieces to show anabolism) and 3 sheets of stickers.

3D Molecular Designs and the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for BioMolecular Modeling continually develop and update lesson plans and other resources for our educational products. Teacher notes, student handouts and other supporting documents vary based on the applications and activities of the kit or model. We appreciate your feedback and encourage you to submit your own lessons, assessments and videos.
