    Life is a molecular marvel of astounding complexity. In this video we take a dive into the world of molecular engines, proteins and the physical processes that power life on earth. This video serves as an introduction to molecular biology and a primer for the future videos that will cover Machine Learning applications in computational biology and protein design.

    There are a number of other channels but your's is the only one I have found that strikes the perfect balance. Detailed enough to be practically useful while still being easily understandable!

    Great work. Thanks for sharing and looks more deep videos are on the way. In terms of software development, looks like there is a function f(x,y,z,t, E(x,y,z)) we need to find at any point. W is electric field. Also stability is not end up in one single point. More like oscillates around that point (s). Good channeling for ML(machine learning) if you consider that as a black box.

    Fantastic video! I'm very glad to have watched the Stanford Robert Sapolsky lecture intros to human behavioural biology on UA-cam. Gave a lot of helpful pre context to this video, and just been generally incredibly helpful. Have you seen them?
    They're arranged as a survey and critique of various ladders on life's abstractions for a wider working understanding of how molecular biology may interact with the other scopes of biology.

    For the rest of us who are interested in these fields of computational biology and protein engineering, and are currently in the field of AI in some capacity, how did you transfer into the new fields? Did you have to do a Masters or PhD or do some certificates to acquire and demonstrate your required background knowledge in biology? Any advice you have is welcome.

      Not much more than this video to get started and apply existing models like eg protein structure prediction. But def a bit more if you want to dive deeper and try some new things like binding, protein-protein interaction, protein design, ... This video is meant as a trigger for people to go "hmmm that actually sounds interesting, I might wanna learn more about this stuff!"

    Great video. That comparison between motor proteins and cars is not a great one. Cars are highly inefficient mainly because combustion is highly inefficient. Most cars (internal combustion engines) are about 25% efficient - so 3/4 of the chemical energy is lost as heat. Electric vehicles by contrast are highly efficient, in the order of 90%.

    I'd say that statement about "4 times more efficient" is [citation needed]. While I can believe that's referring to something like chainsaw of model motors, modern car engines being under 25% --- less so.

    • @FraPa

      you contradict yourself, the earth cooled and oceans formed 4.5 billion years ago, so first life forms are about 4 billion years ago.

      The only difference between me and the dirt I walk on is how the atoms are bonded to each other
