3D Molecular Designs

Hands-on, minds-on kits and models help students understand molecular structures and engage in the compelling world of science.

SS Beta tested a mRNA vaccine design challenge by @3DMolDesigns w/ my own twist. SS modeled mRNA from SarsCOV2 Spike protein & published vaccine seq. Noting sim & diff. Using a structural RNA simulator, we ex the SHAPES of the unmod. mRNA & w pseudouridine! @STANYSorg @NYSMTP

There were several ah ha! 💡 moments this week when #mnbio students modeled transcription & translation using these awesome kits from @3DMolDesigns

@UWproteindesign Nothing better than hearing about protein design first hand! Take 4 minutes to watch David Baker (@UWproteindesign) explain what he loves about proteins.

Our @NATS_Science fall conference is next Friday Oct 18 and we're highlighting all presenters!

Cell membranes - we all got 'em! Ruth Hutson uses
@3DMolDesigns to explore this feature of life! (looks like railroad tracks...for a cell!)

Congrats to David Baker on winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry! 🎉 3D Molecular Designs is proud to have created models of the remarkable proteins from his lab over the past 20 years! 🏆 #NobelPrize #DavidBaker

One thing I like about the Institute for Protein Design, in Seattle, is that they display models of their prior achievements at the entrance.

More research centers should have a "trophy room," just like sports teams. It may help students think more ambitiously, etc.

Our @NATS_Science fall conference is Oct 18! (I'm on the board, and we are highlighting all presenters!)

Ruth Hutson will "show how @3DMolDesigns models the journey from DNA to mRNA to proteins"

Ruth Hutson from 3D Molecular Designs and Michelle Palmgren taking us from water molecules to membranes with models every step of the way!

[BV CAPS VetMed @capsvetmed]

Hey, @ekesslerkc! Using "The Kessler" model @ksbioteachers conference today with @3DMolDesigns - the ONLY model they have named after a person!

Nucleotide chem -Dynamic DNA -Gene Strips & Transcription -oh my WHAT a day! So many toys -I mean TOOLS to model Genetic topics! Such a FUN engaged group of teachers EVEN AFTER 4 DAYS! Oh & NY/LI watch out we are bringing this show on the ROAD @NYSMTP @3DMolDesigns @STANYSorg

[Daniel Williams @willida25]

Bitter sweet day, the last day of Modeling the Molecular World @3DMolDesigns Teachers modeled chromosomes & DNA rep. 1 pic shows many of the models we used this week! Everyone was EXCITED to use these models in their classes! Grateful to be able to share w such AWESOME teachers!

[Nathan Fleming @wphssci]

Solving difficult problems while working with others - this is our main focus in our #pltwclassroom. Freshmen get their first exposure to our unique student led and project based environment during #zizzerday. @3DMolDesigns @PLTWorg @wpzizzers

[Daniel Williams @willida25]

New day -new phenomena to explore! Participants explored membrane transport from the cellular level to the molecular level using physical & computer based models! & examined how acetylcholinesterase relates to insecticide resistance in mosquitos @3DMolDesigns @NYSMTP @STANYSorg

[Eric Kessler 🦬 @ekesslerkc]

and even all of Diane’s wonderful plants!

[Eric Kessler 🦬 @ekesslerkc]

Love seeing all the 3D printed models!

[Eric Kessler 🦬 @ekesslerkc]

Received a tour…

[Eric Kessler 🦬 @ekesslerkc]

Took a slight detour on my way back to Chicago from Oshkosh, & was warmly welcomed by Diane & Tim Herman of @3DMolDesigns where I was initially baptized in the art of engaging student learning of the molecular world underlying life! It was great to catch up! I’ll be back!

[Daniel Williams @willida25]

What FUN to work w amazing teachers from across the US at Modeling & The Molecular World @3DMolDesigns My first time helping facilitate! Day 1 -exploring different models & using those models to examine phenomena! @NYSMTP @STANYSorg

[3D Molecular Designs @3DMolDesigns]

We brought our Modeling the Molecular World course to California!  We learned valuable tips from experienced teachers fostering student discovery and building a community of educators. Don't miss MMW next year!
