DNA Replication 1

[jayejayeee]

interesting video and very informative

[TheSpikeystuff]

i enjoyed this vid

[SkylarkWalker]

i sure glade my cells know how to do this, cuz i sure as hell dont!

[MrFreakHeavy]

This when you think that Magic and Science fiction is HIGLY over-rated. And reality WAY WAY under-rated. When reallity if FAR MORE AMAZING! :D

[GeneralShadow]

Does it actually go this fast? How fast does DNA replication occur?

[Prince20041]

@GeneralShadow I believe DNA Polymerase III can add 250-1000 nucleotides/second =)

[MrTatzer]

How did this stuff evolve?

[bozez1]

@MrTatzer It didn't.

[Samura1gamer]

@MrTatzer the Norse God THOR waved his hammer fiercely into the air and slammed it to the ground with tremendous power.and thus dna was created

[MrTatzer]

@Samura1gamer Well, thats little scientific, is it?

[MrFreakHeavy]

@MrTatzer When you get Mew to Level 1200, it evolves to this awesomeness. ;)

[MrTatzer]

@MrFreakHeavy So you don't know how this system came into existence?

[MrFreakHeavy]

@MrTatzer You know I'm joking. But, yeah, I don't know much about it. I wish I did. I will get more into it in a few month and probably in the future too. And I will try to learn a little in the meantime. :)

GOT IT FINALLYY!!

thank youuou!!!

[agreatgeat]

Damn those clamps holding down the strand.

[soni2295]

the universe is hostile.

[RiffTECK]

@soni2295

So are your cells

[lsolate]

I GET IT NOW !

[patiz0ne]

Uhm,why the lagging strand has to be copied backwards?

[ender2101]

@patiz0ne: This could simply be for no reason at all. Maybe using "has" isn't a good choice here - it could simply by "because it's being copied backwards."

Evolution is a blind force and as such, it doesn't have to act economically.

[malakdaim]

@patiz0ne DNA polymerase can only copy the DNA in a 5' to 3' direction (i.e. in a particular direction). Because both strands of DNA are in opposite direction one of the strands is fine to be copied in the direction that the DNA is being unwound. The other strand, however, cannot be. If you draw out two strands of DNA and unwind them, you'll see that to copy the second strand in a 5' to 3' direction, it has to be copied in little bits. These bits are called Okazaki fragments.

@MusicWavesMan ya dude that was awesome

[MasterDemon25]

This animation is amazing. From other explanations I always had more questions, but this visualisation makes it all clear. THANKS

[valerielam]

pretty simple

[nemirn]

It's awesome.

[mistyred8]

Who needs magic when reality is this awesome?

[akla4]

WOOW

amazin stuff

[shahs1212]

am i the only one that thinks this is amazin???!!! this looks wild crazy

[MusicWavesMan]

I was pretty damn impressed. that's the coolest shit I've seen in a while.
