For teachers and platforms

This page is the canonical share URL for the FoldLens Junior ATP synthase entry. Educational platforms can embed it via the standard OEmbed protocol — the discovery link is in the page head, the JSON body is at /junior/oembed/atp-synthase.json, and the query endpoint at /junior/oembed?url=…&format=json redirects to the same body.
