Protein Synthesis Kit, Set of Amino Acid Pieces (20 pack)

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is a replacement set of 20 tactile amino acid pieces for APH's Protein Synthesis Kit, a hands-on science learning tool designed for students who are blind or have low vision. Each piece represents a different amino acid, shaped and textured so students can physically manipulate them to model how proteins are assembled — a concept that's nearly impossible to teach through print diagrams alone. This is a replacement/refill pack, not a standalone kit; it only makes sense if you already own the full Protein Synthesis Kit (catalog number 1-08975-00) and need to replace lost or damaged pieces. Federal Quota funds are available, which means eligible students in the U.S. can access this through their state's APH quota allocation — worth confirming with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) before purchasing out of pocket.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Replace missing or damaged amino acid pieces into the existing Protein Synthesis Kit set.
• With professional help
  
  1. A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or science teacher integrates the pieces into structured biology lessons on protein synthesis.
  2. Lesson planning typically takes one or more sessions to align with curriculum standards.
