Protein Synthesis : Translation 2008

[PAE1966Gate13]

how exactly does the tRNA bond with the amino acid?

[casto168]

That ribosome looks like a goomba

[Hbveeceecrumb]

I love this vid, im doing a project on protien synthesis at school, so i decided to youtube it to get some study done and explained to me. Good job, liked the music :p

[Laghmanistan]

HAHAH thats a mazing thanks for your efforts.

[sbsb11]

this rules

[6TM9]

im wondering what is GTP and what is the function of it???

what is function of large ribosomal subunit and small unit??

if anyone knows the answer plz tell me cuz i have a test about it !!!!!!

[jorowens]

@6TM9

GTP is kinda like ATP in that it is used for ENERGY!

GTP is more specific than ATP because it is only used during translation (and some other things but whatever). GTP is needed to bring tRNA into the ribosome and also for the mRNA to be pulled inward after each Amino acid has been added. In other words, 2 GTP are used each time an amino acid is added.

[MOLLYDOLLIGHT]

if people knew what they are for then they wouldnt have to watch this video. but i think the small unit is needed because the mrna chain has to go SOMEWHERE to start making a polypeptide, cant just try making them willynilly in the cytop[lasm on their oun can they? the large part is probably needed.... to make a comeplete ribosome? a machine cant work with a part missing, right? i hope this helps. although i probably shoudnt even answered since im not sure, but i put alot of thought in this!

3 sites correct

not 2 sites

[BlackDementor]

Very good

[alive51]

Gregor und Ali sagen Köszönöm!

[darkyoss]

amazingly done! but please, READ THIS: there are 2 sites for tRNA not three. ty

[eMnMilys]

@darkyoss

there are 2 on the small subunit of the ribosome and 3 on the large- the e site is the exit site and the tRNA briefly is bound to the large subunit in this site before leaving the ribosome.

[LivingFreeNatali]

my whole biology class watched this video

[apnargundkar]

Very well explained

[krystle8277]

awesome!! thanks!

[mahaham]

great video, my lecturers notes suck compared to this! very helpful

[TangibleTania]

That was really great!! I have an exam on this tomorrow...your video was helpful! Thanks for sharing. :)

btw...Loved your music and captions..very amusing and entertaining.

[FenderMike1428]

Like the songs...Easy to understand also lemme know if you do more biology stuff like this

[imee0322]

its really amazing you find the right way to teach the complicated lesson... keep up the good work.

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* GNEHEHE

[meme2342]

Wow, amazingly this is the most detailed animation I have found on translation...

Shame there isn't anything with the elongation factors as that's what I'm really struggling to visualise.

Mega respect anyway

[sparklieflower]

what a great vid!

really helped with the bio A level revision thanks =]

x

[unkerg44]

tRNA is correct : )

And hedley! I really appreciate the input, though at the time of the film I was in a basic Bio class, where the elongation factors weren't addressed in detail.

The movie is just meant to be a short overview of the process. Maybe a better/detailed vid in the future? : )

[Venom272X]

@unkerg44 I watched so many videos on this and THIS ONE was the only one that helped (A LOT)

[breanden]

I think you mean tRNA you wrote RNAt that makes no sense far as I am concerned and I am doing my BA science.

[hedleypanama]

OK, in the real world there is a "hand" called Elongation Factors.

In bacteria there are 3: EFTu, EFTs y EFG.

In Eukarotes there are 2: eEF1 and eEF2

They move the RNAt and breaking GTP to GDP.

eEF2 is inhibited by diphteria toxin and Pseudomonas A exotoxin.

[chillgrr1]

I get it NOW!!!!!!!!!

LOVE you!

Tanks.

[kranberie69]

dangers! nice work..

[ed52t]

JUST FANTASTIC!

CONGRATS!!!!

[tcrono]

thanks!

this really helps me for my Bio-Exam tomorrow!

[michie88key]

amazing! really understood it and the whole hand thing made it feel not as hard in a odd way! ~tingles~

[theK0OKS]

haaa great :)

[gmapickle09]

great job!

[ShaneDelivery]

good work, liked the music.... maybe next time with commentary ;)

[molemarvel]

very thourough probably one of best I've seen so far though commentary wouldhelp but like the music

[emadara1128]

Good Job-I can't wait to use this in class tomorrow -My students will love it!

[AstarothCY]

This is excellent! I wish you had included the various GTPase factors but at least you had the GTP hydrolysis events there. Good work!

[LegIsLate]

Good work. It would be much better if you had a tripodod in place. A little shaky! might hurt my eyes watching too much. I love this video!

[algernoonsala]

The tRNA looks like a said green condom.

[Suikerverslaafde]

Wow, really great. Makes lectures on this subject a lot less dusty. ^_^

Great work guys!!

(ah, and I liked the music. ^^ 'Karma Police' ftw.)

[Sergionewyork]

i hate your music!

[FireAndIce0o0]

Yay! Maybe i'll pass my biology test tomorrow!!!! thanx for posting!!!!!!

[Newyorkina22]

Thanks guys for helping me study!

[koreanjeenyus]

This.. actually helped me get an A on this test. It's pretty amazing how 1 video can make a difference between an F and an A

[karlabobbers]

Bahaha, we were assigned to watch this video for our 10th grade biology class. Nicee. :D

[quioo1]

wow good job. must've taken like a thousand pictures. A++++

[seoulchild24]

Great video. Thanks!

[frankie6092]

my question is, what makes those "characters" of that movie do their designated task? How come they know what to do? What are the forces?

[steevmac]

They just bond chemically with the molecule that fits their *physical* shape. It's like a complex jigsaw puzzle.

They obviously don't purposefully go toward each other like in the (FANTASTIC) vid, rather its a random process. Lots of molecules might hit against each other but not bond because they're the wrong shape.

Sometimes it's difficult not to see a purpose to the whole process, or not to imagine some invisible hand guiding them, but it all follows the natural laws of physics.

[frankie6092]

It's really fascinating, I wish I took the that field of study but it's rather too late for me.

[babyf4ce]

oh my god. that was SO cute but at the same time gave me a brief an understanding of protein translation (was browsing the web for a quick explanation). Thanks!!

LOVE the song choices too! it goes well with the different stages. <3

[yumxyums]

that was amazing

GREAT music! =]

[driveinsaturday]

Amazing. Its like I had died and gone to biology nerd heaven for the last 3 minutes and 22 seconds. You're my hero :)

[PsirenLior]

wow thanks.. that really helped!

[divaexpatriate]

That was great.

[free3spirit]

i love it!

[HungTunnel]

How can i download film?

[HungTunnel]

This is your first film?

So good

[HungTunnel]

thanks

[ouzoholic]

fabulous :D

[mYa2891]

great!!
