The Most Important Concept in Biology (Chapter 1)

Показать описание
Essence of biology, chapter 1
We cover the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, DNA to RNA to Protein, and its importance in biology, biochemistry, and genetics. We look into the enzymatic processes that comprise Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis, including DNA Replication, Transcription, and Translation. Included is a brief introduction to mutations, gene regulation, genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The next chapter will explore DNA structure, including the double helix model, X-ray crystallography, and Fourier Transform. “Essence of” titles are inspired by Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown).

It’s super important to recognize that DNA is not chemically changed into RNA, nor is RNA actually converted to protein! I fully believe the best way of learning is by making mistakes, so by exposing yourself to these misconceptions, you’ll be less likely to make these same errors yourself :)

My man's using Manim to teach biology. And you know what, neuron acting as a pi-creature was an excellent choice! Great video.

An intuitive biology video? Not to mention it's coded in manim?! This is awesome! Please keep making biology more intuitive!

As a physics boi, I'm legally obligated to say that physics is the best science.

Jokes aside though, please keep up producing the great content. It's cool to learn biology "intuitively" which is new to me cuz all my bio classes have been memorization. You just earned your self a sub!

As someone who has used manim before I can appreciate how much work went into this and I am also impressed by how clean it is, well done!

I've known about the difference between transcription and translation for years, but the words "translating from one unit to another" finally made it click for me. Whoa

Dude, this is gold content right here. Manim styled biology all the way.

amazing video. it's so easy to focus on the small details in bio and forget the big picture. this was so helpful.

Ya know, these videos are so well done and I think if you kept making videos, you'd likely gain a large audience. I've always wanted 3Blue1Brown-style biology videos - was thinking of creating some myself. If you ever find the time, I'd encourage you to make more videos!

Such a cute way to ride through the base of biology since university biology books lack some creativity in the teaching aspect, it's mostly memorization for the exams
