Protein synthesis: an epic on the cellular level

[LordVader89]

God damn hippies.

[xxthat0nexx]

i feel like i got dumber watching this video.

[tinaamaya]

Sibtesis de las proteinas, lo entiendes o te lo explico con... hippies???

[TheSacknasty]

damn hippies...

[eliteneedler911]

hi

my name boboh

[MichelleSeven]

this is veeery helpful, but everyone must be high in this vid X'D

[hehe0421]

LOL anyone notice this video was uploaded on 06/06/06? :DD

[nemesis962074]

CGPGrey always gives us the most random videos.

[oasiac]

my high school could have never organized something of this magnitude

[oasiac]

@oasiac sorry didn't notice it was a university

[ShadowphixUnlimited]

give thumbs up if CGPGrey sent you here!

[Jessica616ify]

CGP grey sent me here!

[XDinky]

HD

[dragonfire9267]

TRNA!

[WarlordKentax]

Notice how they stole the Jabberwocky poem.

[plumbunnie]

Lol! My professor sent me here. Epic vid

[fatgirlballet]

wow. i remember this from bio 101. trippy

[aitotexan]

8:44 ... whoa

[Monjonbo]

The sad part is that after AP bio. this all makes sense.

[dancingcraze13]

TRNA!!!! 50 s ri bo sooomeess. hahaha yay finals studying. 

[monsieurlegynge]

but the professor explained it all at the beginning.. what's the point in the dance?

[alphajackhardy007]

@monsieurlegynge He explained the point of the dance too... SOMEBODY wasn't paying attention! Haha.

[Cassiepoo21]

Watched this in my college bio class =)

[armindadelpino]

I love this video, it is awesome!!!

[heatherthediva]

I actually stumbled across this by searching "interpretive dance"

[cherrychic812]

Like if you're here bcuz of ADLER

[izzyishot8]

remind me to never visit this mental institue



[XxRynethxX]

I don't think Amino Acids were the only acid in this video.

[shainess21]

My genetics professor "We know this was a sort of social experiment to showcase Translation...but I think there were some stronger things being experimented on..." hahahah oh, only in the 70's...

[wainblatrobert]

i can only wonder how much weed was smoked prior to the filming of this :)

[BYAH13]

And this is why I fucking hate hippies.

[bikulovessystem]

Gotta love it :)

[adamgasmlover]

thanks high school teacher for liking me here..

[emily24emily]

only in college, do they make us watch "educational videos" such as the one I just watched

[logosloki]

required viewing for all 100 (or equivalent level) biologists and biochemists. optional viewing for arts, mathematics, psychology, chemistry, physics and all mah other homies I couldn't remember.

[TheGrotesqueReality]

This requires energy, represented by ATP? No, that’s LSD :)

[850iStyle]

hilarious!! 6:47- out of place man in black garb: "T FACTOR....T FACTOR....TTT FACTOR!!!!"

[mtmatrix3]

What...Did I just watch... *slams head on desk and promptly dies*

[renadam12]

if I'm the quiff dancing int this video? Kill me.

Just kill me.



[jafsports1]

The only people who know about this are people it was taught to...

[superjet444]

this is why i dont do drugs.

[Chimaera435]

@superjet444 This is why I do drugs. LOL XD

[allisonc713]

Apparently my biology professor is in this.

[angelfish43]

 it's a great piece of history, and fun after studying all saturday..

[aomimezura11]

the comparison to people only makes it more difficult to understand!

[dont138]

Awesome. Makes me wonder if my prof would go for doing a sequel...

[BonoCarranza88]

James Brown´s early songs were..... unique...

[greatmanofscience]

Looks like they finally found something useful for the arts students to do.

[kaliu6]

Haha, the song is so funny!!! ROFL "tRNA.. wohoo..."

[andrewgatz]

77 people took the brown acid.

[mphello]

Amazing how much scientists learned between Watson and Crick in 1955 to 1971.

[Quachyy]

i'm only watching this video because my professor linked me here for homework lol

[G0rdiFl0ndi]

@Quachyy Dr. Moss???



[Quachyy]

@G0rdiFl0ndi nope! ben wiggins :)

[1Scuds]

I want some of that stuff they are smoking wooooo!!!

[Cassuttus]

I wish that the makers of educational T.V. still took massive amounts of LSD.

[sebirkin]

Damn hippies.

[x3freakshowx3]

I don´t get it :(

[ytimg62]

OMG I FINALLY GOT IT. HIGH DISTINCTION GUIZ.

[ytimg62]

I still don't get it.

[gracjan202]

This is the best video on protein synthesis ever produced. Sure they have fancy graphics and CGI to make the molecules more true to life, but this video is just so alive it depicts what is actually happening way better.

[Zormac]

'Twas brillig and the slithy ribosome

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

All mimsy was mRNA

and Protein chain outgrabe.

[brandiboo1231]

TRNA!

[angeliniNick]

protein synthesis and woodstock !

watched this in grade 11 bio... rotfl

[KidNotorious12]

i wish i was a chemistry student in the 70s!

[fateater77777]

HIPPIES ALL IN MY BODY

[20juletrelys]

This made me cry!

[donxcore]

initiator factor 2 can get it lol

[happycola121]

Stanford's greatest contribution to biochemistry.

[ApostleApparel]

They were all so deep in character because before starting, the tRNA ran off and got some good ol' LSD.... and so we have the trippiest protein synth. orgy ever.

[ldklf]

I kind of like init factor two =)

[jttb011]

tRNA!!!!! WOOO!!!

[klutz27]

Did anyone else catch the references to The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll?

[OxymoronicRomantic]

@klutz27 How can you miss them?!

My only question is WHY ARE THEY HERE?

[Trund27]

Wow...Just...WOW

[bunzaroni]

truly an epic. i wish i were the guy that was yelling in the background. "50 S RIBOSOME! 50 S RIBOSOME!"

[Hotdog0o0]

so Magic does exist! In the magic code!

[emilyf413]

T FACTOR... T FACTOOOOR

[MrMaybeimdreaming100]

Her's the guys that didn't become teachers or doctors. Poor guys, I feel with them;)

It would have been more fun if they were naked;)

[MrMaybeimdreaming100]

Her's the guys that didn't become teachers or doctors. Poor guys, I feel with them;)

[TheKekeli]

@MrMaybeimdreaming100 actually my chem professor was in this....so i guess they did become teachers

[MrMaybeimdreaming100]

@TheKekeli It was actually very easy to remember the protein synthesis after watching this movie:)

[HYBRIDrokker1]

Oh my dear god, can it get any worse?

[MemorialHipster2014]

haha this helped me on my biology test

[tsssai]

Small correction: This video contains much that is new and much that is true. Unfortunately, that which is true is not new and that which is new is not true.

[DailyDavid]

this is ridiculous... but awesome at the same time

[2in1Conditioner]

How many dorks does it take to reeact a bodily process.

[Cattlecruiser]

I'm so jealous of those scientists who got to go to college during the 60's.

[lololfool]

Stand back! I'm going to try SCIENCE!!!!

[outslider1]

74 people don't behave like a proteins...

[outslider1]

cool music - what'd this?

[GAMESaROCKN]

We watched it for a Biology 12 class. It was hard to take.

[Tonyhack11]

Lsd+ Hippies+ Science+ Even more Lsd= this...

[mrmaloman80]

Ha ha ha!!! I loved it. This is even more trippy if you're inebriated somehow....:)

[Nanaman12345]

I'M MADE UP OF HIPPIES! GET THEM OUT!

[dragonzuela]

Just think: At every moment, thousands of times over in every cell of your body there is this crazy hippie party happening. Also, a new version should really be made that shows how the 50S and 30S move during the indexing step :D

[arcanaXx]

I love the guy screaming the names in the background (TTTTT FFAAAACTOOORRR!!!) lmao

[ChaosRangerRed]

@arcanaXx I think my favorite is "Peeeeeeptiiiide BOND!"

Ya know, Thomas Edison thought there were fifteen tiny people living in our brains, and when we die, those people go live in someone else's brain. If he'd seen this, he'd have had a coronary.

[arcanaXx]

wtf....

[delcampo03]

My brain is full of fuck and everything concerning protein synthesis has been replaced by this fuck

[lacosa73]

nerds!!!!!!

[Coredeath]

lol at the 74 who don t like proteins!

[popsicles01]

whenever I'm sad I watch this, and die of laughter.

[stripyWitch]

This is probably to most creepy and bizarre thing I've ever seen.

[theultimategirl26]

i didn't understand anything after watching this. i'm going back to my genetics slides. Dear Lord.......

[TheSeanachain]

tRNA!!!!! yeah! flash mob anyone? - in Cork!?

[ploopcomic]

tRNA!!!!!!!!!

[PLeasureJet]

no way anyone can read what the sign says at the beginnig

[Prounounced]

this somehow makes this more complicated

[fr4tbrn]

73 people  encountered T factor in a dark alley

[pcxxy]

nice.... now off to protein folding ;p

[louisTimmermans]

Science is HIP !!!!

[numba4ondacourt]

Ms. Moser, I'm used to HD.

[Tonsilloliths]

In my 10 years as a scientist, I am still waiting to do an LSD interpretive dance. Maybe I'll propose it to my colleagues tomorrow.

And the Rudyard Kipling dialogue - pure brilliance.

[muellster]

@Tonsilloliths Kipling?? Mostly Lewis Caroll wouldn't you say??

[ps3gamer510]

andy stfu

[ps3gamer510]

Ms. O brien how could you make us watch this?

[SirGre]

FIFTY-ESS RIIIIIIIBOSOOOOOOOOOOME!

[happycola121]

this is better than nutella on toast.

[happycola121]

this is better than nutellapeanutbutterbananahoney sandwiches.

[r2daz]

What about the aminoacyl, peptidyl and exit sites? Isn't indexing called translocation? Isn't T-Factor really eEF1α, or EF-Tu in this case since it's a prokaryote, denoted by the 30s and 50s ribosomes? More importantly, who let the hippies do biology?

[Winnetka4]

@r2daz Did they know all that in the seventies?

[bandlette4life]

damn hippies

[InsanePsychoRabbit]

What were they smoking when they came up with this?

[seres420]

what a great psychedelic tune, I wish I could download it... 50S riboosome.....50S ribsome!

[seres420]

what a great psychedelic tune, I wish I could download it

[sneva831]

and Jabberwocky too! A little Carroll makes everything better

[lahat10011]

a definitive LOL...

But I wish my biology class would look more like that

[sandeep7657]

wonderful video

[orbazel]

Hey... that Guanine base of the mRNA at 4:26 has great legs!!!!

[snufferoo]

That was awesome.

[burner0815]

Did he say: "energy is represented by smokey puffs"? Dude... I know exactly what you mean :}

[H3nry7h3h3n]

Food for thought: These college students are in their 60s now. "Back in my day, we didn't do this crazy stuff..." "Oh, yes you did."

[michellelene1]

also, hmm total neu hier wer mag oder will mit mir chattn der meldet sich ja ^^

[jackal59]

You can tell this is from the early '70s because people look like they're having fun.

[dalloliogm]

this seems to me a cut scene from Jesus Christ Superstar...

[SarahCota]

it's very intresting see how the things change by the years

[zeekle]

So when did the dean call the riot police?

[FearlessHQ]

the 69 ppl who dislike this like sucking dick

[kaatieXD]

this is happening inside me right now... AWESOME

[kaliu6]

@kaatieXD well technically it's not - this is a bacterial ribosome :P Humans have a 40S and 50S ribosomal subunits.

[rifliflih]

Puti!!! je suis sciée!

[jaredschroeder11]

this vid is HOT!

[AVangarDIsrael]

biology is kind'a fun..... too bad im actually graduating at it :-\

[1andreasse]

Wow. This is the best thing ever. A movie with Shakespear quality proses(roughly), ribosomes at its best(3.48), A Snape-look-a-like 40 years before the Harry Potter version, goodmicrobiology education, and the finest from the 60's when it comes to art and lyrics and just pure awesomeness.

[curlytwerp]

@1andreasse Lewis Carroll poetry actually, see Jabberwocky.

[ksmit135]

What the...?

[AlisonMooreSmith]

Proof that the 60's and 70's should never have happened. Can we get a two decade do over???

[OmGzXX]

We watched this in my Biotech class.

:D

[wayne388]

@OmGzXX We watched this in my Genetics class! :D

[RespectMyHate]

These systems evolved?

[CloakedDeception]

Combination of art and science at its finest! Loving it!

[lewjen]

Its complex.

[MrHerrIQ]

WTF????

:S

[aloeya1]

why is the audio so poor? on the loudest seetting uyou can't hear this.

[aloeya1]

why is the audio so poor? on the loudest seetting uyou can't hear this

[Quippen]

This makes me appreciate vector graphics and animation.

[flwriliana]

@Quippen oh do you know any good site where i can see such things animated????

[Quippen]

This makes me appreciate vector graphics and animation

[dchaikid]

It's like as if TS Eliot read a biochem book and then wrote this narration on crack.

[Ernestl12]

WOOOO TRNA!!! WOODODODODOODDO!!!!

[herambbarve]

this is a little too psychedelic to be educational....but kind of a nice idea though

[soilasalle]

Initiation factor 2 looks spookly like my big sistes

[SHOJMPR42]

The Real Title-

Hippies on exogenous chemicals representing endogenous chemicals

[orbazel]

@SHOJMPR42 The Real title for citizens with low IQ:

'Hippies find excuse to get smashed and roll about in the park'

[Nepalimetalhead]

crazy people!! or crazy proteins ..

[CallMeThePartyStar]

too hippie

[HipHopOtaku]

This is so weird, I can't pull myself away!

[woahhhhwhereami]

Why is it that every film made in the 70s, whether intentional or not, is so scary!!!!!!

[loviol9]

lol, I should be studying for my cells to tissues final...but this is so hypnotizing.

[iMaxyboi]

wtf
