What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a replacement set of tRNA piece components for APH's Protein Synthesis Kit, a tactile science learning tool designed to make molecular biology concepts accessible to students with visual impairments. The kit uses physical, manipulable pieces representing transfer RNA molecules so students can construct and understand protein synthesis through touch rather than visual diagrams. This listing covers only the 32-piece tRNA replacement set — you need the original Protein Synthesis Kit (catalog 1-08975-00) for the full activity to work. If pieces from a classroom set are lost or damaged, this replacement pack extends the life of the main kit without requiring a full repurchase.
