Innovative ‘protein’ toy created by Aberdeen scientist
A
n innovative toy to teach youngsters how proteins function in the human body has been created by Professor in Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen Marcel Jaspars in collaboration with toy manufacturer Tangle Creations. Tangleproteins aim to develop understanding about what the proteins in our bodies are made of and the vital roles they play – from helping us breathe to regulating our blood sugar.
Professor Jaspars hopes the toy which allows you to build different proteins by linking together small plastic structures will be used to convey the important role proteins play in the human body in a simple and fun way.
