This kit can build a trisaccharide model of starch, an important natural polymer which consists of long chains of glucose monosaccharide molecules.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Molymod atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may seem expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
Starch consists of three alpha; D-glucose subunits. Note that the positioning of the hydrogens is somewhat random. The model also forms an arc when held around the middle which illustrates the fact that starch in nature forms a loose coil.You can also build similar models in the Orbit style with our 68799W Glucose Molecule Structure Models Kit.

I purchased this set as a gift so can only say recipient (my grandson) is very pleased. I have been dealing with Chris Bingleman for the past three years to find the appropriate gifts. He has gone above and beyond with the service he has given to me. It is always a pleasure to speak with him.. Carla Wallace
