Inside a living cell is an amazing transportation system. Proteins have to be delivered to the correct part of the cell to perform their intended functions. This animation, based on a lot of clever research over a number of years, shows how it happens.

Highways, made of microtubules, are assembled by interlocking proteins, each manufactured in accordance with the coded instructions on the cells DNA. Marching along a microtubule is the kinesin motor, the hero of our story, carrying a huge sack of proteins to be delivered to a pre-determined place in the cell. Here the proteins will be released to fulfil their functions.

A kinesin linear motor uses one ATP to provide the energy for each step and takes 125,000 steps to cover one millimetre!

This amazing machine shows all the hallmarks of design!

  • I like how you made it dance :) very informative too!

  • @JacquesClouseauJr "This engineered RNA" would break down do to the unstable conditions of it..similar to rats leaving a sinking ship..This artificial RNA..has ZERO chance of further evolving into a living cell.

    Activated subunits are used along with templates taken from living sources..its not a geochemical relevant reaction.Intelligence created life not time and chance! Amino acids Never organize them selves in perfect order!. Moronic atheists have a Faith in some chemistry unknown to life!!

  • I don't know if the following saying exists in english, but it's very known by spanish-speakers, Ok!, it's says: for a good understander... - few words are enough. this saying coincides excellently with your video.

  • @biochemist14 that doesn't necessarily prove intelligent design, it just follows a physic wall of attraction (polarity) the kinesin walks to the + pole of the microtubules, dynein to the - end. If you break down all the happenings in the entire Universe you always end up with simple set of laws that started it, afterwards when more and more builds up the mechanics get more complex, that's why people tend to believe that nature is way too complex to not have a designer.

  • 125,000 steps to cover one millimeter, that's just amazing.

  • @biochemist14

    Are you suggesting that intelligence is given to us? I guess in your case by god?

  • one of many evidences that prove creationism and breaks down Darwinism.

    such things are created by INTELLIGENCE.

    NICE VIDEO

  • one of many evidences that prove creationism and breaks down Darwinism

    that's done by INTELLIGENCE .

    nice video

  • I love this clip! It's extraordinary.

  • and when you think that it all appeared out of ... "The" soup...:)
