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
Wow! I just discovered your channel by reading your comment on the video “The Reason Why Cancer is so Hard to Beat” of Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell. I am awed by your video as you give a deeper insight into the beauty of biochemistry :)
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!
I recognize a few of these terms from middle school but I didn't really understand them then it's cool to know what they actually mean,Excellent video.
@@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!
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.
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! :)
Great animation and awesome work. 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.

I love it, really nicely explained!
I really appreciate it, Grant! Thanks for opening a whole new world of online education with your videos and inspiring so many of us! :)

Yeah, that DNA bending into a helix was amazing.
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.

Please continue to post.
This is going to be revolutionary.
Thanks so much for your kind words! It really means a lot :)
Great Video With Best Animation
Wow! I just discovered your channel by reading your comment on the video “The Reason Why Cancer is so Hard to Beat” of Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell. I am awed by your video as you give a deeper insight into the beauty of biochemistry :)
Thanks for your kind words! Really glad you enjoyed. Feel free to share with any friends or colleagues who think would like seeing these videos :)
Your channel has a great potential.....it would go really far.....glad to see that someone is making something that I also want to do
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
This is what UA-cam should be recommending me. Found you in one of Grant's videos' comments. Excellent stuff.
I appreciate your kind words! Feel free to share with the people that will find these useful, the goal is for knowledge to be open access to all :D
Will do! :D
Concise explanation, in school days if I could access this level of content
Thanks for your kind words! That's definitely the goal: to make learning easier for students today :)
Beautiful animations, excellent explanation, and a very interesting topic. Kudos, man!
I appreciate it! Thanks for your support, and welcome to the Primo family :)

Yep, you're right! Thanks for the feedback-- sadly UA-cam videos cannot be edited after posting but I can add a correction in the description :)

Glad you enjoyed! Hope you enjoy the future vids as well :)
Awesome video man!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Love the Biology videos! Keep up the good work! Also, quick question what are your qualifications to teach this?
I was going to ask the same thing. Always curious how people end up making videos like this.
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n 3Blue1Brown has a Bachelor's math degree from Stanford, not sure about the guy behind this channel
Absolutely beautifully explained. I never came to in such deep about DNA. Well explained 👏👏👏
Thank you for your support! I hope you enjoy the future videos as well :)
@@PowerhouseCell make this a series. I think a very little of people have learner about DNA in such a amazing way.

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

great animations. I don't understand how there are 2 dislikes for this video!!
Haha thanks so much, I appreciate it! :)
amazing job!
YES LET's GOOOOO
Great animation and awesome work.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think you're right, that's a typo - I appreciate you pointing it out!
But what is DNA?
