17. Flip it over18. Fold the edges of the top layer only into the center line19. You’ve now completed one amino acid. Repeat these steps with another piece of paper until
you’ve created a total of eight amino acids.
And, that’s it! Once you have amino acids, you are ready to move onto Part 2 to make the protein channel.

1. Make eight amino acids. Each amino acidhas four tabs that open up into a pocket
2. Place two amino acids so the open endsface each other. Insert the top tabs of one amino acid into the tabs of the other
3. Your paper should look like this4. Fold your paper shape in half5. Your amino acid should look like this
5. Your amino acid should look like this

6. Continue adding units using step 2-4
7. When you are finished, you should have a string
8. Your protein channel is complete, andshould look like this
9. Your protein model can change shapes byflipping the point to the center, all at once
