'ATP' by wehi.tv (2021)

Two examples of how ATP provides energy for molecular activity inside your living cells:
Ca2+/H+ ion channel
DNA helicase enzyme.

To be able to physically see the molecular machines that exist within every one of our trillions of cells is truly awe-inspiring.

[paulsass]

the deep time in which these various molecular characteristics accreted and the enormous numbers in which they interact...it may be impossible to figure everything out, but the astounding human patience and dedication to "understanding', even one corner of a little bit of reality is one of the reasons to be proud of humanity.

I knew about ATP and DNA helicase enzymes, but I had never seen how helicase is powered by ATP. Phenomenal animation, thank you.

[uninsulatedshrimp]

Every time I watch these molecular machine videos I have an existential crisis

[tesina]

Amazing work as always! Absolutely love the audio/sound effects!

Excellent presentation! You are pioneers in microbiology education. Thank you for the lesson.

It's beyond incredible that any of this even exists, and is programmed to work so precisely.

[marianbuduroi]

WOW that DNA separator mechanism is awesome

[margueriteoreilly]

Unbelievable this process happens in everyone of our Cells....i enjoy ur wee movies 🎬 so much

This is so uncomprehensibly tiny, so impossibly reliable and so insanely sophisticated, it literally looks like the work of a god. Against all odds, life found a way to resist entropy.

Some base pairs have 2 hydrogen bonds, but others have 3. So if one ATP molecule is always consumed to break a base pair, is energy wasted when helicase uses it for a 2-bond base pair?

Wonderful animations molecular scale in high resolution, thank you.

I was going to comment "UNREAL!"
But that could have been taken the wrong way.
I pronounce adenosine differently, but you are allowed to, I decided. :)
Love WEHI!

[svenskaapologetiksallskape]

amazing! fascinating ! inspiring! thx!

[hanyanglee]

Yeah, great animation. Great illustration. Molecules inside the body are so busy. Any slower animation? I can not even see what they do .

[PotionsMaster]

How in the *actual hell* did they figure out this ?
It's not like they could see molecules under wait...isotope labelling ? Is that it or are there any other methods ?

Plz help, I'm super excited about this
Thank you

I'm curious how can we maintain a youthful state indefinitely

0:46 here is something wrong, the PO4 lost an oxygen atom.😅

[FrozenLabRat]

I understand more, but Ive got even more questions.

[entranceexit]

All this shaking, of trillions and trillions of molecules such as this, somehow doesn't make my body noisy?
