At 8.43 the instructor says: "But this carbon is linked by a little ring with three methylenes to that amino acid. Again, this may seem sort of an unnecessary detail or something, but this is the way life evolved on earth." Can anyone explain what he means by 'an unnecessary detail' in this context? Also when he says 'but this is the way life evolved on earth' is he implying that there could have been something better that evolution could have come up with? And if so, what would that be exactly?
3:56 no, even though I'm going into O chem and biochem next semester. I have no idea what you're getting at, possibly because I haven't taken any bio classes for a decade and I am not allowed to take bio 101 and 102 like I should be. If anyone could help with that...it would be great.
Since this was recorded, Google's Alphafold AI program for determining tertiary structure from the primary seems to be transforming the field. I think we are moving possibly into Nobel territory here.
Wow he talks.and acts human. Most of my Prof. were dried up old farts that went through the process on muscle memory..makes me want to go back. Lucky kids to have him.
if you think this guy is good... look at any video by Eric Lander (also of MIT, and teaching some of the 7.01 classes)- after the history of DNA lecture he did I felt like I had seen a summer blockbuster, he is truly a storyteller, and perhaps the best lecturer I have ever seen.
yeh, why would you need to know fundamental parameters of your body's biochem? no way that would help understanding disease. Lets all go diaper shopping and sit in puddles of our own shit!
Your a fuckin random i tried to reply to your stupid lil comment and i could not find you period.that shows how much of a nobody u really are.all in the back of the bus and shit lmfao
I knew there were 20 basic amino-acids, but this video has lots of interesting info about their interconnection in order to form proteins. Thx, MIT
Superb lecture, despite obvious physical problems. Excellent visuals. Great job !

And the nobel is confirmed haha
The gecko feet part at the end blew my mind!

@@AdventurousJohn yes... I agree
wait what was the other force
Besides a prerequisite is this really useful in life? Doubt it
Yeah! What is the use of posting knowledge for free! Who gives a frack about the advancement of our species!?

Nice bait mate
Hydrogen bonds are 1/20th the strength of Hydrogen bonds? Lol, what? I know he meant covalent bonds.
The hell am I doing here? I was watching Topology videos, well I'll stay for the sake of being curious..
