  • "A molecular machine..."

    "Another Machine"

    "When the chain is finished it is moved from the ribosome into a barrelled shaped machine..."

    "It is released and then shepherded by another molecular machine-"

    I love this overdramatic music, but what is up with calling everything a 'machine'?

  • The "machines" are enzymes and one of them is a ribosome. I watched the video to learn the name of these machines!!!!

  • Helicase unwinds the DNA. RNA polymerase transcribes the DNA to mRNA. Ribosomes are ribozymes (enzyme that is a protein and rRNA complex) that translate the mRNA to protein. Ligase is used in DNA repair, for example, and it ligates the broken peices of DNA back together.

  • @farmboy575 my mistake- DNA helicase unwinds the DNA

  • @ArsenicBlackgammon the "molecular machine" that unwinds the DNA is an enzyme called DNA Ligase

  • i love it..it's great

  • @ArsenicBlackgammon They are actually machines that do physical work. They have actuall moving parts and everything.

  • 0:52 nomnomnom..

  • Amazing one >>> gamda gamda gamda mooot :)))

    thanks alot .......

  • @ArsenicBlackgammon "A molecular machine..." is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA. And that's all I know, sorry!

  • star wars
