Question
Can you attempt building models of biomolecules using commercially available atomic models (Ball and Stick models).
✓
Answer
Yes. The biomolecules can be represented by the ball and stick model. The bonds which hold the atoms are represented by sticks, whereas the atoms are represented by balls.
Example: In the model of D-glucose, the oxygen atoms are represented by pink balls, the hydrogen atoms by green balls, while the carbon atoms are represented by grey balls.
