How RNA gets translated into protein power: Crash Course Biology #35

How does the information from mRNA turn into a protein? It all comes down to translation, where nucleotides are translated into a chain of amino acids. In this episode of Crash Course Biology, we’ll cover codon-reading ribosomes, tRNA delivery trucks, and scientists who are using what they know about translation to save lives.

DNA & mRNA 1:13
How Translation Works 2:16
Peptides & Polypeptides 6:43
Why Proteins Matter 7:07
Dr. Katalin Karikó 9:26
Review & Credits 11:37

Crash Course I love you. Been watching y'all since middle school, and now im about to graduate from my Bachelor in Biotech :)

[@Lanabelle1069]

I thought the title read “How RNA gets translated into protein powder”. Time to get new glasses.

[@MichaelSmith-ij2ut]

As a mass of unique proteins myself, this was very insightful

[@Lindsay4182]

Kids got it easy now. If I had crash coarse in grade school I woulda passed AP Biology with flying colors. It's not fair lol

[@bethanybridges1419]

I have been trying to understand this concept for 6 years…. Crash course is the business. Thank you.

[@collin4555]

It is crazy to me how rapid these processes are, when it seems like all the components have to move randomly until they detect they're in place. But then, I guess the volume they're confined within is pretty tiny, too.

[@006-mayurbehare9]

Amazing! Sometimes I feel My body is more intelligent than me 😂

[@funkykong9001]

Thank you! This was so good and useful

[@samanthasanchez3203]

so helpful for my final, thx!! :)

[@paulnix8443]

Methionine hangin' with Pattie! For a proper start code!

[@PatIreland-tw9lr]

I wish this had been available when I was trying to learn this stuff for my Gr12 Bio exam!
Thanks for another terrific video.

[@abramisme]

Keep it up! I Love this stuff!!!

[@naigocirrot2027]

Excellent lecture Dr. Thanks

[@HUBBLE724]

Nice Explanation

[@_Axolotl_Axolotl_]

Awesome, great episode! :D

[@imadalishah76]

Make vedio on Baltimore classification please 🙏🏻

[@sebali-ferguson6303]

CRASHCOURSE BIOCHEMISTRY WHEN???

[@katcompanioni4042]

My exam that has a section on this is on Friday, crash course always clutches up 😌

[@MellowHavenTunes]

Yuhh i love this channel

[@malkum77ify]

Biochemistry and molecular biology rocks!

[@abhijitsrichandan]

How is it 3 tRNA can bind at a time ? I have read that there is only 2 sites, means 2 tRNA can bind. I request your reference or book or article 🙏🏻.

[@Claire-f]

Spreading facts 👏🏻👏🏻 love seeing the woman who helped bring the Covid vaccine to light celebrated

[@unclebobo6030]

Hi how's it going watching from Broomfield Colorado

[@hopeebrown81]

My favorite Doctor. ❤

[@shoonyaroach]

Can you explain this in shorter chunks ? My attention is shaking after 4 mins of so much information

[@pinktights747]

Thank you for the free education.❤❤❤

[@dagem2430]

Downloaded for rewatch. First to comment 😄

So basically we are the human version of those mice?
