Question:

Can you attempt building models of biomolecules using commercially available atomic models (Ball and Stick models)?

Answer:

Yes! Ball-and-stick models help students visualize biomolecules in 3D.

  • Balls - atoms (different colors for elements).
  • Sticks - bonds connecting the atoms.

You can build models of amino acids, sugars, nucleotides, or lipids. It’s a hands-on way to understand shapes and bonding, which helps you remember structures better than just diagrams.
