My band Ambiguous Toad covers The Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop" with our own twist. This was done for a school project, and it was for fun, and somewhat comedic on the vocals ;)

This is a Normal Mode Simulation of a ribosome (30 S part is removed) together with a transfer RNA. From the work of Jernigan & Bahar: "Global Ribosome Motions Revealed with Elastic Network Model" Wang, Y. Rader, AJ, Bahar, I. & Jernigan, RL. , J. Struct Biol 147: 302-314, 2004. Soundtrack: ?kimiz bir fidan?z-Hakk? Bulut
ribosomes ribosomes ribosomes ribosomes... a video about a lonely ribosome. ribosome ribosome ribosome- what about the smoothe endoplasmic reticulum? or the nucleic acid? or even the cell wall?

Directed in 1971 by Robert Alan Weiss for the Department of Chemistry of Stanford University and imprinted with the "free love" aura of the period, this short film continues to be shown in biology class today. It has since spawn a series of similar funny attempts at vulgarizing protein synthesis. Narrated by Paul Berg, 1980 Nobel prize for Chemistry.
In the translation process, interpretation of genetic codes in form of codon along mRNA would create a particular protein. The translator is the transfer RNA (tRNA) which has three nucleoide (anticodon) specific for each type of amino acid. The anticodon bond to the complementary codon of the mRNA and transfering amino acids from cytoplasm to ribosome.

This is a video about protein synthesis produced by my General Genetics class at the University of South Florida. It is the first of two parts. Please make sure you watch Part 2 as well. The movie was inspired by Robert Alan Weiss' 1971 cult classic, "Protein Synthesis: An epic on the cellular level." Enjoy!
