This kit allows students to study their own proteins, enzymes and bacteria from their mouths. The building blocks of life, the proteins, are identified with a clear, colorful assay. A simple colorimetric assay demonstrates the high activity of protein enzymes present in saliva. Finally, bacterial colonies can be grown on solid agar plates to show the vast numbers of bacteria present in the mouth.
