Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit
Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit (Product Code: SLE/Mo/07) is a self-build model kit used to construct the alpha helix, a coiled protein secondary structure, in biology and biochemistry classes. Its joining pieces hold the assembled coil firmly enough to be passed around the room, and the parts live in a durable case with compartments — a practical molecular model for chemistry and biology teaching in India. The kit is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Alpha Helix Model Kit Used For?
In an alpha helix, the backbone of a polypeptide chain twists into a right-handed coil. Each backbone C=O group forms a hydrogen bond with the N–H group of the amino acid four positions further along, and the side chains point outwards from the coil. Ribbon diagrams in textbooks hide most of this detail, so building the helix by hand makes the pattern far easier to see.
Students usually assemble the coil in pairs or small groups, then trace where the hydrogen bonds sit and how the side chains project. Because the joins are firm, the finished helix can travel round the class for discussion, for example when comparing it with a flat beta sheet. After the lesson, sorting each piece back into its compartment keeps the kit complete for the next biochemistry group.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit. The kits are produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct to schools, universities, dealers and importers.
If a storage case or individual parts need replacing after years of classroom use, ask us — the manufacturer deals with such requests itself. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit show?
The Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit shows how a polypeptide chain coils into an alpha helix, one of the main secondary structures in proteins. The built model lets students trace the backbone and see where hydrogen bonds hold each turn of the coil in place.
Will the assembled alpha helix hold together when students handle it?
Yes, the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit uses joining pieces designed so the finished model stays firmly assembled. It can be passed from student to student during a lesson without falling apart, which suits group work and class discussion.
How are the parts of the alpha helix kit stored?
The Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit comes in a durable storage case with compartments that keep different parts segregated. Sorting the pieces back into their compartments after each class makes it quick to check the kit is complete for the next group.
How many parts are in the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit?
The part count and assembled size of the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit are not given in this listing. Ask us through the contact page and the exact contents will be confirmed in your quotation before you order.
Who manufactures the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit?
The Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, India. Quotations, repeat orders and replacement-part requests are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Which courses is the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit suited to?
The Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit suits senior-secondary biology, undergraduate biochemistry and life-science courses where protein structure is taught. It is most effective once students know how amino acids join through peptide bonds.
