Introducing Gene Music Videos: Codon Table Song and Nucleosome Structure

Gene Music was born out as a DNA base-to-pitch assignment (A=la, T=sol, C=mi, G=re) and extended to amino acids to play any gene and protein of interest. This rule was rendered to music in the "Codon Table Song". Subsequently, for greater appreciation of macromolecular structures and interactions, ball-and-stick displays are made from crystallographic data. In the "Nucleosome Structure", each histone molecule is tri-colored according to secondary structure assignments (magenta-yellow for alpha helix, green-blue for beta strand and grey for other).
