The perfect way to say "thank you" to that special scientist in your life! Also a great science teacher or medical student gift.

Spell out your gratitude with the molecular structure of the short peptide whose abbreviation is T-H-A-N-K-S, complete with red oxygens and blue nitrogens.

The back of the card features an explanation of the design: Proteins function within cells as molecular machines, performing tasks such as movement, metabolism, and storage. Twenty amino acids form the building blocks of proteins. Here, the abbreviated representation of amino acid chain threonine-histidine-alanine-asparagine-lysine-serine spells T-H-A-N-K-S. The molecular structure is shown, with red oxygens and blue nitrogens.

This pack of six 4.25" x 5.5" digitally printed cards comes with three blue and three red envelopes depending on whether you're feeling more like nitrogen or oxygen that day.
