Immediately after denaturation, proteins are loaded into the wells of a polyacrylamide gel and an electric current is passed through it. The negatively charged proteins are pulled through the gel and migrate towards the electrode.</h3> | ||

Modeling
We find that in science, it is hard to fully grasp a real life concept when it is shown to us only in two dimensions. We live in a three dimensional world! Why are we learning how things work only in 2D? We visualized our project with 3D models and made animations so that anyone of the general public could watch the videos, understand and get excited about the science behind our project.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Take a gander through our 3D models and animations!
