DNA and protein synthesis animations

Hi,

This post is on animations of how ribosomes are sites where amino acids are assembled to produce protein molecules in cells.The structure of DNA and the nitrogenous base pairs are also mentioned.


How the DNA works can be seen by clicking on this link:

DNA to protein, how the DNA is transcribed to form the mRNA and used to make protein molecules in the cytoplasm. The site of production being the ribosomes.




This simple yet clear video explains transcription, formation of mRNA, nuclear membrane pores, ribosomes the molecular factory, translation, tRNA and protein assembly. the long chain of amino acids or protein being folded to form the 3D structure before it is ready for its use in the body.




Cheers
