Biomembrane model

Function and Applications

Model demonstrating the structure and function of a biomembrane. The structure of a lipid bilayer with various incorporated and attached proteins is shown. By using liquid, the fluidity of the membrane can be impressively demonstrated. The membrane proteins can be moved with the supplied magnet. Use this model as a teaching tool when discussing topics related to the cell membrane such as plasma membrane structure and function, diffusion, active and passive transport.
