    I love this way more than my slapdash intro. The 2d diagram bent in 3d space is SO GOOD. I'd love to see some consistency in color between Major/Minor groove diagram and your chemical diagram for the rest of the video--but that's a super minor. I really like the excerpt model too. It's good practice for when you have a robust and active patreon or discord or whatever and you start soliciting your audience for feedback. Excited for the full vid. Keep killing it.

      Ahh that's a good point. Kinda ironic how my critique for your vid had to do with color and then I didn't color coordinate myself oof. Appreciate your support as always, and keep up your awesome work as well! :D

      After seeing your channel, I'm quite sad how such innovative channels like yours and mitochondria don't have that many subscribers. I wish there'd be a way for you to gain more exposure.

      I appreciate your kind words! The good news is that the best way to grow my channel is through the help of my supporters like you :) If all of you share my videos with your friends and family, my channel will eventually grow over time! There will definitely be at least two videos being released next month (one is already completed!), so I'm excited for more viewers to join the community

    Well done video and nicely illustrated; however I noticed a mistake in the atomic structure of the guanine base: The oxygen has two swap place with the NH2, otherwise one carbon would have five bonds, which is, however, not impossible but seldom depicted; the common ketoform of guanin sometimes forms an extra N=C-bond while keeping the C=O-bond; the rarely occuring enolform has only a C-O-H-bond and can thus pair with Thymin; similarly the iminoform of adenin can pair with cytosin. (Such rare base isoforms are known to cause transition gen mutations during the DNA replication process.) Thence, the helix structure is wrong too concerning the GC pair. Actually these bases have to rotate relative to the desoxyribose to form their three h-bonds. Nevertheless, a very well done visualisation!

      @@roopesh732 Thank you for your kind words. :) Yes, this is part of the Essence of Biology series! You can watch Chapter 1 on my channel right now, and Chapter 2 will be out next week!
      These videos take a long time to make, and it is very challenging because I do not have that many subscribers or viewers right now. Since you enjoy these videos so much, I would very much appreciate it if you could share my videos to your friends/family/teachers/colleagues and have them watch and subscribe. Having a larger audience would help me very much to make more videos!

    I wish you were explaining more fundamental stuff, since I was out when you said "... a sugar with 5 carbons"

    • @MegaJoka100
      @MegaJoka100 4 роки тому +3

      A sugar is a carbohydrate like the good old glucose. It consist out of Carbon (C), Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H) and more specifically it has a carbon chain and hydroxy groups (OH). It is just a name to more easily talk and classify parts of molecules or molecules in general. What a sugar exactly is not that important for his explanation.
      There are a few examples linked in this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate in the table under "Division" take a look at the pictures and maybe you see the similarity. Important side note you should stick to understand simple sugars first and don't get confused by the oligosaccharides those are just different sachcharides(a different word for sugars) stuck together.

    • @PowerhouseCell
      @PowerhouseCell  4 роки тому +4

      If you don't know what Carbon is, then I assume that you haven't taken any sort of chemistry class before (even a middle school introduction to atoms will help), and learning biology before chemistry will be very difficult. But that's totally okay! It's great that you're eager to learn biology. Everyone has to start somewhere!
      For the purposes of this video, the definitions of sugar and carbon aren't exactly important- just simply knowing that nucleotides contain something called a "sugar" will put you ahead of those that don't! :)

    May be a slight correction. The guanine depicted here(0:21) and pubchem db (id = 135398634) does not match. There is a carbon right after O in the hexagon ring. it is N in the picture. My misunderstanding is also an option.
