Protein Synthesis Animations

Click here to view an animation of protein synthesis. This is similar to the DNA replication video we watched in class.

Click here to view a second animation (note the music in the background!)

Videos from class: transcription and translation.

Still having trouble understanding protein synthesis? Click here for a step by step animation that explains all of the steps of protein synthesis in detail.



Hope these websites are helpful!

  3. Cells in bone marrow makes 100 trillion molecules of hemoglobin per second! How much oxygen does our circulatory system need to transport? Or is it that red blood cells die quickly?

  4. These videos were really helpful Leslie!
    At the end of the second youtube video, what's the barrel that helps the protein fold called? What's the machine that also carries the protein to where it is needed called?

  9. Is there ever a time where an exact copy(double helix and all that) of Dna is made. And would that "Dna" leave the nucleus?

  10. Does anybody else have trouble loading video clips? My computer takes a really long time! Answering Juan Carlos's question: exact copies of DNA are made very often. For example during mitosis (when a cell splits) exact copies of the DNA are made for the daughter cells. Even when exact copies of DNA are made they do not leave the nucleus, RNA brings messages from DNA to other parts of the cell not new DNA copies.

  12. That video made it more clear about protein synthesis b4 i was a little bit fuzzy but now i understand it a lot more. it is easier to understand subjects more when watching an animation. Thx so much it helped alot also is our quiz on tuesday or wednesday bc on eboard it says wednesday and on the blog it says tuesday?

  13. I watched some of the related videos on the side and they also helped. One of them, the translation/transcription one was cool.
    After typing this I realized that the translation/transcription video was the first link.
    =P

  14. the whole process looks almost like a factory. it's amazing how quick the entire process is and the amount of times it happens in us.

  17. Thanks Leslie! Seeing Protein synthesis in action really makes it clear to me what exactly happens. I makes much more sense now!
