DNA Translation Rap

IB Biology Project:
Fiona Bai and Katie Despian rap how translation works

LYRICS:
Translation uh-huh uh-huh Translation uh-huh uh-huh
STAGE 1: Initiation!
You got your two homedogs mRNA & initiator tRNA
chillaxing in their hood: R-subunit.
Then they both met and hit it off with their starting codons AUG,
I say AUG with his UAC (in the P-site.)
They all went to a bigger hood of R-subunit
and met fellow gangster A & E

STAGE 2: Elongation
The bonding between anti-condon tRNA
And the condo on mRNA is such a sensation
A blind date at A-site set up by matchmaker
rRNA get the amino acids excited to from
some peptide bonds with P-Site AAs!!
Then the tRNA translocates from the
A to the P and the P to the E
I say: A to the P and P to the E.
One more time!
A to the P and P to the E.
Finally youre at Stage 3!

STAGE 3: We got boy! Its just so fun!
Like Arnold Schwaitzingger says Termination
In rolls the stop-codon with his release factor-
Gangster attitude and bomb like tick-tick-BOOM.
He breaks up the party and everybody runs,
And thats it for Translation!!

WOOOOOOOW I love how i was going to use youtube to do some last minute studying for the IB Bio Final and this is like the second video listed!!!!

You girls are brave.....hahahha

[gymnistico]

That completely changed how I view both of them.

"omgosh."

"You call me stupid every ten times!"

This is so funny. That's hillarious that Mr. Niedermeyer is gonna use it as a "teaching tool".
