Learn about the amide functional group, its structure, reactivity with Orbit molecular models to make amide chemistry easy to visualize.
Amides are an essential functional group in both organic chemistry and biochemistry, linking carboxylic acids to amines through a carbon–nitrogen bond. They are central to peptide bonds in proteins, making them a core focus for biology, medicine, and nursing students, while also being studied for their synthetic and industrial applications in chemistry. Amide molecular models help students visualize molecular geometry, understand resonance stabilization, and connect structure to biological function. Whether preparing for the MCAT, studying organic synthesis, or examining protein structure, understanding the role of amides is important.
Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
Every Orbit molecular model set sold by Indigo Instruments is fully compatible with others you might own. You can replenish any set or customize it with Genuine Cochranes of Oxford Orbit Atoms.

Bought two of these because I prefer them to the one used at the university. Easy to use and has a good flexibility.

I've had consistently great service from this company. Our students seem to really appreciate the reasonable price. In the years that we've used this product, not one has been returned due to defects.

Considering how many of these we sell to schools every year, that is high praise indeed. Thanks letting us know.
