    This video was created by Pallas Chou and Harrison Ngue (myself) for Chemistry 27, an organic chemistry course at Harvard University, so some of the topics covered are more advanced than my previous videos. A HUGE thank you to Pallas Chou for making this video with me, this wouldn't have been possible without her.
    I'm back! Primo Science has officially changed to Powerhouse of the Cell, and I'm looking forward to this new era with all of you. For those of you who want to see more animated biology and chemistry, check out my Twitter: twitter.com/Powerhouse_YT/status/1504520527867637760. I will be posting more GIFs there!

    Super glad to see you are still making content! Keep it up! Organic chemistry was probably my least favorite part of chemistry, but the way you tried to rediscover ideas based on simple principles is something I wish I saw more of when I learned it.

You have no idea how joyous it is to have this perspective back in my timeline! I'll probably comment again once I've processed this video more fully. What a truly beautiful day.

      Thanks!! I can't believe it's already been 2 years since we both started our UA-cam journeys. I had been longing to get back and I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to do so. This was definitely the most challenging animation I've tried so far so I hope you all like it. I can't wait also to see you post again hopefully soon :)

    My organic chem is a little rusty but the animations made everything clear and I really did learn a whole bunch. Amazing to see such advanced bio/chem content explained so nicely. Trying to do the same on my channel with a bit more of a philosophical twist 😅. Great great video, looking forward to more!

    Where was after effects utilized as opposed to manim and chanim? Just curious what limitations I'd find in using manim for something like this

    • @PowerhouseCell
      @PowerhouseCell  Рік тому

      For this particular video, there was very little manim actually! Most of it was done directly through After Effects and Premiere Pro due to limitations of Manim, which resulted in this video taking well over 200 hours to complete. Thanks for the support!

    Hey, is it true that in dna every 10 amino acids there is a sulfuric bridge then in 5 amino acid then in 6 amino acid then in 5, than repeats back to 10?

      @PowerhouseCell  2 роки тому

      Hey, thanks for the question! I'm not sure this question is related to the video, but in any sense, DNA is not composed of animo acids but instead nucleic acids. If you could clarify your question, I would be happy to try to answer!
