Lab procedure
Answer key

Students can build a five amino acids simultaneously with this kit to investigate D and L forms of amino acids, hydrogen bonding, dehydration synthesis, peptide formation, the meaning of "alpha amino acid", primary and secondary structure of proteins.

As separate investigations, students can make models of each of the common 20 alpha amino acids.
