Interactive 3D DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints, like a recipe or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. In this activity you will have a chance to identify the basic structures of a DNA molecule. You will also have a chance to test your memory and try to beat the clock in the labeling activity. Finally, you will be able to watch the DNA unravel and separate into single strands and then practice DNA replication, transcription and translation though a matching exercise.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables researchers to produce millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in approximately two hours. This automated process bypasses the need to use bacteria for amplifying DNA.

Immune System - Natural Killer Cell

Natural Killer Cells are the most aggressive white cells in the immune system. They make up about 5% to 15% of the total lymphocyte circulating population. They target tumor cell and protect against a wide variety of infectious microbes. Natural Killer Cells are a very important factor in the fight against cancer. Immune Stimulation is the key to keeping the white blood cell count high and giving the Natural Killer Cells a chance to fight cancer and other diseases.
