My brother and I know how to weld and have access to a welder so I’m thinking i will use metal as my medium, possibly incorporating barbed wire, keys or locks and wire in the protein’s structure representing p53’s protective properties and role in tumor suppression.  I also liked  Nicole’s  idea of using firecrackers as my double helix, but i’m a little scared to mix welding and fireworks in a project (wouldn’t want my p53 protein to detonate and become damaged!!!!)
