Transcription (with music)

[chris155hp]

this is translation

[xinnalynn]

Isn't this process translation? The ribosome is synthesizing the protein...

Observe the double helix of DNA being unraveled by the RNA polymerase producing mRNA

[Daruqe]

is the DNA supposed to be unraveled?

[redvision350]

Yes, it must be unraveled for transcription to take place. The blue enzyme racing along the DNA double helix is called RNA Polymerase. As it goes along, it splits the doube helix. One by one it matches the base pairs on the DNA coding strand with a complimentary RNA nucleotide (A, C, G, or U). The finished product is an RNA strand (the yellow chain). This RNA strand is then used for a process called Translation, the process of creating proteins.

[mikegrandal]

Well, after going through multiple lectures and can pretty much determine everything that is going on. Of course, you can't see the A site and the P site but you can see the Exiting of the proteins. I know that the big protein is the Ribosome and it is following the replicated strand and those little flying yellow molecules are the complementary codons to the DNA strand with the associated protein attached. This goes through elongation but it doesn't show Initiation or Termination.

Bashartayeb, I think you should link to 41_Ne5mS2ls in the summary. There seems to be a lot of people somehow incapable of doing the simple task of looking through the related videos for the original.

[bashartayeb]

I hear you on that one, I made this in 2 minutes the night before a big Cell Biology exam taking a break from studying. This video in no way is supposed to be real educational at all, in fact will just confuse the hell out of you. I am in the works of posting a high quality captioned version of a few biochemical pathways

[tiffcatz]

I am trying to understand around this and I dont think that this is good help for me. Can someone send a message to my youtube account with a good video on this subject. Thankz

[renaudking]

this is fucking bullshit. fuck genetics

[mahranizoli]

Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur.

[bashartayeb]

I don't see how this is relevant to the video- FTL

[footballer010]

How bout a translation video from the same manufacturer?

[attacking911]

this video is biased.

[m8m9k]

there are so many inaccuracies in this video...

[bashartayeb]

enlighten me

[kassandrashymanski]

lmao, that music actually fit well whit transcription

[itsanthonyhere]

I wonder if this is the music all the molecules listen to when they are working..?

[csustudent209]

AWESOME! I loved it!

[HashDizzle]

My comment only applys to eukaryotic cells. Bacteria have circular DNA, unlike the DNA we have: a double helix. This videa doesn't tell us whether it is a bacteria's DNA or a double helix. The double helix DNA needs the enzyme helicase to "unzip" the DNA for transcription to begin. But quite an amazing video sir!

[bashartayeb]

Hey hashdizzle, I believe that circular DNA is also found in non-eukaryotes as well. Euks and Prokaryotes differ in how the DNA is packaged, yet it still is a double helix.

[bradcasali]

Mitochondrial DNA (in us humans) is circular and double-stranded. I'm certain on the circular aspect, but not 100 percent on the double stranded aspect though.

[HashDizzle]

Transcription is first and translation is second. The finished mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where a ribosome reads the mRNA and creates the protein. The amino acids the ribosome reads for the protein undergo dehydration synthesis and is ready for its journey ahead. Golgi Apperatus here I come!

[bashartayeb]

This video shows eukaryotic transcription due to the presence of transcription factors. The loop that you see coming down is an enhancer region bound by an activator protein which binds to the transcription factors further increasing the rate of transcription. You can see that the transcription factors dislodge after and the RNA polymerase races across the sequence. The video is crappy and I will re-upload a clearer slower version!

[Dan4157]

Is this suppose to be very accurate? Like is this what it looks if it were to be magnified? Also, is this the full speed at which transcription occurs? I think the video is amazing, totally awesome animation!

[bashartayeb]

I actually believe it may even be faster.  It is a very accurate video based on the research that is!

[maxpep09]

A gene of 1500 nucleotide pairs requires approximately 50 seconds for a molecule of RNA polymerase to transcribe it.

Which equals about 30 base pairs per second.

[opiates]

so approximately 1.8 kilobases per minute are transcribed... not bad.

[lazermaniac]

What's the name of the background music?

[bashartayeb]

its lange vs gareth emery - another you another me
