Gene Regulation and the Order of the Operon

REFERENCES:

*Further Reading*
As our pinned comment mentions, we cover basics with the goal of inspiring curiosity for more! There are so many important details to explore. For example, the conversion of lactose to allolactose, the cAMP-CAP conversion that stimulates the RNA polymerase, or the names of the different genes and their individual functions. We also don't mention that there are other factors that can affect the activation of this operon (such as glucose levels). Check out this further reading suggestion in OpenStax Microbiology to learn more:

I learned more from this than my actual college lecture.

[seekerseeks]

This is so far the best channel for molecular biology. Now I just think of my whole body made up of cute things like this moving around and doing their job.

[authenticallyaubry]

These are the best videos to help understand really complicated concepts. I am a college student and these videos are a still a huge help, especially since it takes hard to understand concepts and breaks them down without sacrificing the small important details.

[daniellesamson]

can I just say that I'm 26 and your little characters made me laugh out loud. I had to re watch 3 times because I was reading what the little guys were saying. "I want to make the things!" 😂

[MATTicall]

There's a certain point in bio lectures where you know the definitions but just want a nice visual and put all of it together. This is the video to watch, thank you.

[KittydogCrystal]

Oh my gosh, these videos are so cute!! THIS makes science even more entertaining. :3

[Ntseim]

I should have let you block the thing!” - I lol’ed so hard at this

[pamp]

Couldn't understand my 2-hour lecture on microbiology and you guys explained it so easy in 7 minutes! thank you so much!!

[OhhHeyGab]

my bio teacher sends me to really boring videos to study and I just come to these videos b/c it helps it make sense and they're so cute

[sarahholland]

This video is cute and interactive but informative at the same time, definitely helped to keep me involved. Please make more!!

[victoriazhang]

The drawing made it so much more easier to understand! Guess I'm more of a visual learner

[RougeSamurai]

I don't think I'd pass very many science courses without youtube :o

[vanshikahariya]

Through your animations, I've gained more clarity in so many topics... the way you've portrayed things is printed in my brain. Thank you for making such tricky topics so simple and understandable.

[updown]

Nice to see I'm not the only one watching these videos during the summer. And thanks to this channel, I'll be dominating every Science course for the next 3 years!

[amaranwar]

This is the best video I have ever seen. Period. Thankyou so much for introducing me to the basics of gene regulation, was just about to start the topic when I found your amazing video. Keep up the amazing work!

[playerunknown]

I watched one hour lecture and I didn't understand many concepts but this 6 min video clears every doubt... Thanks for the video

[bendandsnatch]

"Why do we even need to learn this strand if we're never going to use it!" This has to be the greatest biology/teacher joke of all time. Also, "You are here. You must be here to synthesize HCL" is a hilarious, immediately familiar way to describe the concept. As a 26 year old "adult" college student, I mostly watch these for super dorky biology humor that motivates me to get back into the dry stuff. Thank you!!

I am a senior in college and have watched many and many biology videos. your videos are exceptional and definitely the best. thank you so much

[MesaySol]

Thank God, thank YouTube. We would have been nothing without you.

[jotee]

literally i paused my professor's lecture and just come to this channel for whatever topic we are on! so so grateful for this channel bc sis would be lost
