Protein synthesis: an epic on the cellular level

Back


Directed in 1971 by Robert Alan Weiss for the Department of Chemistry of Stanford University and imprinted with the "free love" aura of the period, this short film continues to be shown in biology class today. It has since spawn a series of similar funny attempts at vulgarizing protein synthesis. Narrated by Paul Berg, 1980 Nobel prize for Chemistry.

That lovely. It's nice to see Cal Berkeley hasn't changed their curriculum. I used to date a girl that lived in one of the tree house dorms on campus.

This is 13 minutes of my life I will never get back and that makes me sad.

This is prokaryotic translation though

yeah but replication, transcription, and translation of any organisms' genome is within the realm of molecular biology.

I've seen this video at an intro bio class, but i always thought it was made in UC Berkeley...around the hippie yrs
