Transcription and Translation: From DNA to Protein
Ok, so everyone knows that DNA is the genetic code, but what does that mean? How can some little molecule be a code that makes a single cell develop into a giraffe, or a monkey, or Tony Danza? Within this clip lie the answers, child!

Enzymes
Enzymes are really important proteins, that speed up the rates of reactions such as in photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis. The enzymes and substrates are always moving, and occasionally they collide at the right speed and...

Protein Synthesis
Proteins are made of a long chain of amino acids, which has been coded for by DNA. The order of the bases of DNA determines which protein is made, by coding for a specific order of amino acids. This is protein synthesis, and in this...

HST-AP - Anatomy & Physiology of the Human Cell
The Anatomy (Structure) and Physiology (Functions) of the human cell. The human cell has an outer protective cover called the cell membrane. A semifluid called cytoplasm is contained within the membrane. The structures that make up the...

MECP2
How do cells control which genes they express? The animation describes a specific example of how, after interaction with proteins, gene expression turns off. Scholars learn about the role of histone proteins and chromatin in the process...

The Proteasome
How do cells get rid of worn out proteins? Using a short video clip, viewers learn about the role of ubiquitin in flagging worn-out proteins and see how the proteasome degrades flagged proteins.

Protein Synthesis
Your body determines which proteins are made based on the code in your DNA. A Fuse School video explains how protein synthesis works. It starts with DNA, moves through transcription, RNA, mRNA, completes translation, tRNA, and finally...

Mutations in DNA
A human genome accumulates approximately 64 mutations per generation. The video explains the four types of mutations in DNA and their importance—or lack of importance. It incorporates knowledge about protein synthesis and combines it...

Protein Synthesis
Only about two percent of DNA codes for protein. The video walks through the process of protein synthesis. It breaks down both transcription and translation into multiple steps.
