Origami DNA. Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, this practical activity allows students to create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure. The activity provides a hands-on way of learning about the structure of DNA.
This activity explores the structure of DNA in a paper-based form. You can also use the blank version to explore the pairing rules of DNA, by colouring in each base pair using the pairing rules printout.
Origami DNA Blank Template. This hands-on activity allows you to create your own paper model of a DNA double helix. This activity explores the structure of DNA in a paper-based form. You can also use the blank version to explore the pairing rules of DNA, by colouring in each base pair using the pairing rules printout.
Using the blank DNA origami template 1. Lay out the blank DNA origami template on the table. Designed by Alex Bateman (2003) 2. Start by writing the fi rst letter of your DNA sequence (A,T, G or C) in the top right corner. 3. Continue your sequence down the column on the right. 4. Write the corresponding bases in boxes
Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, this practical activity allows students to create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure. The activity provides a hands-on way of learning about the structure of DNA. Two templates are available as PDFs; a standard template with the...
Origami DNA model. Folds for your DNA model. Mountain fold. Solid lines are “mountains” and are to be folded away from you with the peak pointing towards you. Making your DNA model. Valley fold. Dashed lines are “valleys” and are to be folded towards you with the peak pointed away from you.
Origami DNA model. Adapted from Yen, T., 1995, Make your own DNA. Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 20: 94. Folds for your DNA model. Mountain fold. Solid lines are “mountains” and are to be folded away from you with the peak pointing towards you. Making your DNA model. 1. Fold all solid lines going lengthwise down the page into "mountain folds".
