20 Amino Acid Molfidgets Collectionhttps://makerworld.com/collections/8398687 This is a molecular model of methionine, created using molfidget. Methionine is an essential amino acid, meaning it must be obtained from food. It contains sulfur, which makes it important for the synthesis of other sulfur-containing molecules like cysteine, glutathione, and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine). Methionine plays a critical role in starting protein synthesis, methylation reactions, detoxification, and liver health. It also contributes to the structure and flexibility of proteins through disulfide bond formation. In this model, all single bonds are rotatable. Some carbon atoms are pre-connected, and you can complete the assembly by manually attaching the remaining atoms.
