Built from a large and a small subunit, this ribosome model shows protein translation in progress. A strand of mRNA with raised bases threads through the gap between the two lumpy, clustered subunits, while three bulging sites sit along it and a beaded protein chain grows out from the top. The organic, sculpted surface gives the ribosome a lifelike, molecular feel. It is a clear teaching model for cell biology and genetics lessons, a lab desk display or a study aid for explaining how cells build proteins.
