Thank you so much for covering Rosalind Franklin, some of my previous instructors only briefly mention her and they rarely discuss her major contributions to the discovery of the DNA structure.
Trying not to fail my bio final. This is so helpful, and I want to thank the Green brothers for starting the channel, and the whole CC team for making it a reality. You guys are kind of the best.
awesome idea and dedication indeed... but they have some financing... bet they would be shut down if they taught some of the truth in science and history. ....
BannerOfBlasfemy college is free for me at least, all I had to do was write a paper and take a test. (I’m a freshman in high school). It all depends on where you live and where you look, and whether or not the opportunity is there yet. But yeah, people should go to college for free if they have the drive for it.
I started teaching biology in 1993 and I KNOW my kids (now middle aged) KNOW it was Rosalind Franklin who did the work. Hank, thank you. I left teaching, but am thinking about getting back into the classroom. Using your videos to study up for the test to get recertified. :)
@@hifrax yeah i think so as well. I think what they meant is that the lagging strand goes into the 5'-3' direction which would mean the DNA polymerase won't work 'efficienly' since it cannot go in the opposite 3'-5' direction
Usually when I watch videos to catch up on material idk the night before an exam I watch it in 1.5 speed but these crash course videos are the only ones I actually have to watch in like .5 speed omg
During the diagram from 3:00 to 3:40 all of the carbons that you circle and label are 5' carbons. The 3' carbon is the carbon that the phosphate group bonds to on the next nucleotide. So on the left stand the 3' carbon of the bottom sugar would be the very bottom left carbon with the two atoms (hydroxyl group) hanging off of it, and the corresponding carbon in each subsequent sugar.
Crash Course is one of the best things to be on youtube, its fun to watch educational and overall helpful. You guys have proven that knowledge is power in so many ways, breaking down complex subjects while maintaining a high energy level teaching process which does not leave a student sleeping. You guys are like the Bill Nye of our time, keep up the good work. Its really pathetic that more people don't know about your work, grade schools should promote your program, but then again they are more focused on their sports teams, but overall for all of us non-athletic people you guys are champs.
Kinda bothered me that he didn't mention that women scientists tend to be disregarded for the sole fact of their being female. Still, love me some Hank Green.
hmm the info is wrong, it wasn't Franklin who shared the info (she didn't like sharing anything, she even disliked when other people got into her lab) the one who shared the info was Wilkins, he showed the picture of the double helix to Watson; Franklin got furious about that (Wilkins and Franklin hated each other) Besides... she was far from theorizing how DNA worked, it was Watson how figured it out. Obviously Franklin had a key role but she wasn't Emmy Noether.
I don't remember Crash Course being this complicated when I was in 9th grade biology, though I guess I should be thankful that 6 years later it is still helpful for my college level genetics class.
+NH.-B Well the 5'-prime end was shown correctly both times, the 3'-prime end however is located at the third C-atom. In the video both the 5'-end and the 3'-end are indicated at the 5'-end. If you take the left strand (the side of the purple ribbon) of nucleotides you'll find that the 3'-end of deoxyribose is located at the lower left corner of said molecule. Since the saccharides are shown in a Haworth projection it's quite difficult to point out. Here's a not very good Fischer projection of deoxyribose I made pointing it out. Remember, this is the same molecule as shown in the clip, just a different style of drawing it. HOC-CH2-CHOH(this C-atom is the 3'-end)-CHOH-CH2OH(and this is the 5'-end). In an aqueous solution (almost) all monosaccharides (such as deoxyribose) will form to become a circular structure, such as shown in the video.

Thank you Hank Green and the team, for helping us get through school in a fun and enjoyable way!
I'm glad he included that Rosalind Franklin contributed to the findings of the DNA structure not until this year after my bio teacher told us about Rosalind Franklin have i found out that it wasn't all just Watson and Crick. I have lost lots of respect for Watson and Crick after that day.
Taylor Clay they literally stole her work. you'd be surprised at how often men are credited for things women did. Ava Lovelace, Sanora Babb, Lise Meitner, Cecilia Payne, Hedy Lamarr, Vera Rubin. It's pretty awful.
harumi Well let's not get carried away. "You'd be surprised at how often men are credited for things women did." Making statements like that perpetuate sexism. It's not like men everywhere have declared war on women and are out to steal their work. What if Watson and Crick had been women? It should stay a "x" stole from "y" issue, which is what it really is, not a man stole from woman issue.
To Hank and everyone at Crash Course who helps in creating these videos. I just want to thank you so much on behalf of all of the panicking people who have trouble remembering all of this information. These videos are absolutely incredible! Keep doing what you're doing! :)
Oh behalf of my dog who just watched this, he says he 'is most certainly not a human and did not care for the accusation'. I'm afraid he has unsubscribed
I was put on ketamine after a had several surgeries within a month (they were worried about the amount of opioids I had been on, and the amount needed to control pain straight after surgery having a shoulder replacement might kill me post-op). I beseech the medico's out there, be it G.Ps, surgeon, nurses etc, to give patients the heads up about ketamine BEFORE the surgery - I came out of surgery, woke in the recovery room, and thought I was in a cartoon - everyone looked like something between a Disney character and Avataar (did I spell that right?). I would have panicked, except I was too smashed. I asked if I was hallucinating, and some guy I assume to be the anaesthetist said "no," that's the ketamine," - if this wasn't hallucinating, I need a new definition. I was in a lot of pain, but it was someone else's pain, if that makes sense (if you were on ketamine it might - it's called a "dissociative state", IMT). Very trippy. Wonder if animals have this happen?
+blo shit up Your pupil is just open space covered by the cornea, a multicellular tissue that contains no blood vessels, that's why you don't see it occurring. The nerves behind it detect light and then your brain makes sense of those indications. Not to mention that cells are microscopic and the nucleus is inside of the cell and chromosomes are inside of the nuclear membrane of the nucleus and so on... So then you might ask well how do those cells stay alive without oxygen? Because all eukaryotic animal cells need oxygen for respiration to utilize energy and there are no blood vessels to provide the oxygen. The cornea diffuses oxygen from the tears secreted by your tear ducts.
+blo shit up You're totally incorrect. First off, the cells in your eye don't actively divide. They are with you your whole life. They are constantly in the G0 phase therefore DNA replication doesn't occur in them and so you wouldn't see this anyways. Replication only happens in preparation for mitosis in interphase, like when you grow as a child or your cells divide and repair your body when you get a cut on your skin, otherwise cells refrain from dividing hence they don't replicate DNA.

dogdemon62 Thank you, but you should change your views about biology or you will never enjoy the subject. If you are able to "like" or be intrigued about biology, you will end up enjoying it and understand it a lot better. Your mood towards a subject is really important.
I do like biology, it's just the cells are kind of a difficult concept for me to grasp. I love looking at organisms as a whole, and I understand the organ systems very easily, it's just cells I don't get lol. I lean more towards anatomy and physiology.
these videos are the best. the editing and detailed number spewing gives us a few specifics we may have missed in individual studies. this "speccy-eyed nerd" has helped a lot of people understand a number of different topics (and has definitely helped me pass a few challenging classes)by showing off his big brains on the internet by describing whatever topic he is needed to, and people like it so they donate and subscribe to his channel at their leisure
Was there an error made at the 5' 3' explanation or am I just having trouble comprehending? Shouldn't the 3' indication circle have been drawn at the third vertice of the pentagonal deoxyribose model?
I was thinking that same thing. Maybe because the 5 prime and 3 prime bond to one another and so are shown in the same place? There are suppose to be 2 ester bonds...so maybe the ends refer to the phosphodiester bond on either side of the same sugar. That, if still referring to that first sugar, is still the downstream end of the same molecule. I think it is only mean to refer to a direction. I do not know, though. That was just my rationalization.
phrase the lord for youtube teachers. Why waste your time reading long ass textbooks and still end up confused when you can just watch a bunch of these videos. These are so much cooler and so much less boring
Jennifer Li I disagree. A textbook will give you a much more in-depth view of such mechanisms than a ten minute video, and will leave you with a much better understanding. I find my textbook challenging and interesting. These videos are great, but they are mere supplements to textbooks and the like.
+Darby Jones Oh my gosh we were learning about this and I'm in an online school so I typed out the joke in the class and my teacher did NOT like it.....it was very awkward for me. I would have died if I was in an actual physical school. But we're in 10th grade, it's not that bad of a joke.
Although I only watched half of it and only understood a few parts, the laying out of it combined with my other revision resources finally helped me get the gist of it - you are a star, thank you!
I like Hank's video very much but this one bothers me because there is a big error in the illustration. The illustration should put circles on the 3 prime carbon on deoxyribose sugars. However, the illustration has circles on 5 prime carbons on sugars only. Some people may get confused about the direction from 5 prime to 3 prime carbon means. I hope that the illustration will be corrected for better understanding for the audience.
They have many mistakes in their videos, especially the history ones which are often really really atrocious, however, they cover what kids need to know for exams, which is often a lot of propaganda, and that is fine. Get an education and give the Dean what he wants, the go off, think for yourself and improve the world xx
I just love you Hank! I have seen sooo many of your videos and have watched them over and over and over and over and over and over again. then after that i watched them again just to be sure i could get all this complicated science stuff down iinto my longterm memory. I am a nursing student and the program moves so fast and the material is so overwhelming that it has truly been a gift to have you as my tutor! Sometimes i think you are giving me this look after my 20th viewing like " do i have to spell it out for you Rainey geez!"LOL Sometimes people just need to know how big of a difference they make in this world and you my friend have truly been a lifesaver so that i can get through all this madness and help save lives myself in return. Also, what a hilarious guy you are! I am your BIGGEST fan!! wish me luck on my blasted microbial genetics exam Tuesdayd!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!
Only a very small number of people here will understand this, but... The way I remember what Okazaki fragments are is this--the two strands are only gonna be together a short time before they're separated permanently.
It should be noted that, in a similar fashion, both of the Okazakis who discovered those fragments suffered a similar fate. However, it was the husband who died and not the wife, and he died of a disease.
The guy who covered this in class went through 47 slides in (I kid you not) 20 minutes. I learned more in the first minute and a half of this than I did for the entire lecture.
Jesse Clark my anatomy professor last semester went over entire chapters in one class. Entire chapters could consist of every bone in the body, organ systems, cell structure/reproduction/transcription, and would go down into molecular detail. AND HE EXPECTED US TO ALL HAVE EVERY BIT OF IT MEMORIZED IN A THREE DAY PERIOD. Needless to say, 80% of the class failed.
At 3:14 when you show the 3rd carbon bonding with phosphate, it's actually bonding with the 5th carbon of the next sugar, and carbon bonding is with the upper part of this phosphate and the previous ribose sugar
he has a lot of information to cram into a certain space of time, and if your brain has to work harder to keep up... it works harder at everything else... very clever Hank, very clever! make is slower if you need to.
Is the graphics at 3:18 right? they're pointing at another 5th carbon calling it 3', but the 3' should be the loose end at the veeeery last bit of the whole molecule and the circle should be on, well, the 3rd carbon. Right? or did I not understand this?
MegaMagicGoat I think the animator got the instructions for the graphics, but since he maybe isn't as big of a science guy, it went over his head and he made that mistake (I think it's a mistake, people more familiar with this should tell us). Naturally, as they're a couple numbers in a couple places, it went over the staff's head as well, all the way to the final video, and the ones who catch it are the people carefully looking and trying to understand this whole deal. Not that a number 3 in second place instead of last is the most important thing in the world, it doesn't look like a huge deal, but it also kinda makes little things like the diversity of life on earth possible and stuff...
I’ve been watching this guy in all my 3 years in college. All my prereq classes for nursing school are of course science-based & this guy has a video on everything I swear!!! He is so smart
You did these years ago but, thank you. I had a horrible high school edu. so I'm trying to catch up and this is helping me understand so much more than just reading. TLDR: I'm dumm. you make it easier to be smart
OMG PLS DONT GET ME STARTED :((( I used to love biology class and was super good at it, then i got a new teacher and started not caring about anything, because he is that bad at teaching. It makes me depressed
The 5' to 3' confused me because it circled the wrong thing and pointed the arrows weirdly. So here's what I've understood to help those like me. 1. The deoxyribose, the hexagon with a tail, has 5 Carbon molecules, 1 does not start from the tip, the tip is an Oxygen molecule not a Carbon one, but the next point, right hand side if pentagon is upright, left hand side if it is upside-down, is a Carbon. 2. 2,3,4 follows clockwise for both upright and upside-down deoxyribose, 5 is the tail The circling of both 3s are wrong: 3a) On the left they should have circled the 2nd line connecting the phosphate (orange ball) to the deoxyribose(hexagon) so 5'-->3' makes sense. 3b) The right side should have had 1 more phosphate (orange ball) above the upside-down deoxyribose so that the 3' Carbon could join it, so 3'-->5' would make sense.
+Sushil Mario You know how in the DNA replication process the double helix has to unzip. Boys would like to do the same thing with a girls jeans. But sorry that I killed the joke.
since i was in high school (4 years ago) and now i'm in medicine, i still look into your videos when i don't understand about the material.. God bless you crash course
Well if it helps, nucleotides are added to the 3' end because it has a free OH group which reacts to form the bond, so they're being added from the 5' to the 3' direction
Look "5 prime and 3 prime DNA diagram" up on google images. Look at a diagram of a single piece of DNA (as in, not the chain, but one rung of the ladder, made of three parts). It should show that the "top" of each DNA rung (at top of phosphate) as "5 prime", and the "bottom" of each rung (at bottom of sugar) as "3 prime". Therefore, as they chain together, you'll have one side of the DNA helix ladder with all the 5 primes facing up, and the other side of the DNA ladder helix with all the 5 primes pointing down. (and yes, he mislabeled the 3 prime and 5 prime in the video). (Why are these parts of the DNA called 5 prime vs. 3 prime? It has to do with the naming of the Carbons in the carbon rings involved. See W douglas Driver's comment somewhere else under all these replies to NOBEL ADHIKARI for a good explanation...)
11 years later, the video still better than a two hour lecture
My earphones get tangled all the time, but miles and miles of DNA don't. Mind blowing.

"why is a teenage boy similar to helicase?

The funny part about biology is that everyone pronounces everything differently

To Hank and everyone at Crash Course who helps in creating these videos. I just want to thank you so much on behalf of all of the panicking people who have trouble remembering all of this information. These videos are absolutely incredible! Keep doing what you're doing! :)
Oh behalf of my dog who just watched this, he says he 'is most certainly not a human and did not care for the accusation'. I'm afraid he has unsubscribed
My cat had a similar reaction

he just said 'ketamine is a wonderful thing'
I was put on ketamine after a had several surgeries within a month (they were worried about the amount of opioids I had been on, and the amount needed to control pain straight after surgery having a shoulder replacement might kill me post-op). I beseech the medico's out there, be it G.Ps, surgeon, nurses etc, to give patients the heads up about ketamine BEFORE the surgery - I came out of surgery, woke in the recovery room, and thought I was in a cartoon - everyone looked like something between a Disney character and Avataar (did I spell that right?). I would have panicked, except I was too smashed. I asked if I was hallucinating, and some guy I assume to be the anaesthetist said "no," that's the ketamine," - if this wasn't hallucinating, I need a new definition. I was in a lot of pain, but it was someone else's pain, if that makes sense (if you were on ketamine it might - it's called a "dissociative state", IMT). Very trippy. Wonder if animals have this happen?
+John Bradford you are a cartoon. Or at least your user icon suggests such

I cried about how informational this is.
does anyone else find it creepy that this happens in ur eyes. like its happening right now and you dont see it.
+blo shit up Your pupil is just open space covered by the cornea, a multicellular tissue that contains no blood vessels, that's why you don't see it occurring. The nerves behind it detect light and then your brain makes sense of those indications. Not to mention that cells are microscopic and the nucleus is inside of the cell and chromosomes are inside of the nuclear membrane of the nucleus and so on... So then you might ask well how do those cells stay alive without oxygen? Because all eukaryotic animal cells need oxygen for respiration to utilize energy and there are no blood vessels to provide the oxygen. The cornea diffuses oxygen from the tears secreted by your tear ducts.
+blo shit up hi !! fellow kpopper !! nice to meet a kpopper here
+blo shit up High Skool!
i see it
+blo shit up You're totally incorrect. First off, the cells in your eye don't actively divide. They are with you your whole life. They are constantly in the G0 phase therefore DNA replication doesn't occur in them and so you wouldn't see this anyways. Replication only happens in preparation for mitosis in interphase, like when you grow as a child or your cells divide and repair your body when you get a cut on your skin, otherwise cells refrain from dividing hence they don't replicate DNA.

*CRASH COURSE* _Video notes_
Every body-cell (somatic cell) has 46 chromosomes
each containing one DNA molecule
*DNA-* Nucleic acid (and so RNA)
Double helix
*Nucleic acids are polymers*
-Many small reprating molecular units
-In DNA, these small units are called nucleotides
-Put them together and you have a polynucleotide
*Nucleotide*
-5 Carbon sugar molecule (deoxyribose)
-Phosphate group
1- of 4 Nitrogenous base
-Adenine (A)
-Thymine (T)
-Cytosine (C)
-Guanine (G)
-In DNA sugats and phosphates bond together to form twin backbones
Phosphodiester bond
-The two strands are anti-parallel
-One side goes from 5' ---> 3'
-The other from 3' ---> 5'
-*5' - AGGTCCG - 3'*
-*3' - TCCAGGC - 5'*
-These two long chains are linked by the nitrogenous bases via relatively weak hydrogen bonds
*Ex:* A-T are hold by a hydrogen bond
*Base pairs*
-A-T (2 hydrogen bonds)
-G-C (3 hydrogen bonds)
-Therefore G-C is stronger because it has one more hydrogen bond
It is the order or the "Base sequence" that allows your DNA to create you.
-*AGGTCCATG* means something completely different as a base p
air sequence than, say, *TTCAGTCG*
*RNA*
*(3 MAJOR DIFFERENCES)*
*1.* Single-stranded molecule (nod ouble helix
*2.* Sugar in RNA is ribose, which has one more oxygen atom
than deoxyribosome
*3.* RNA does not contain Thymine (T) instead has Uracil (U)
*DNA discovered by Swiss biologist*
Friedrich Miescher
*Rosalind franklin*
X-ray diffraction
*Replication*
*Helicase*- Enzime Unzips that unwinds the double helix bybreaking hydrogen bonds
*DNA Polymerase*
-Adds matching nucleotides onto the main stem all the wat down the molecule
-Needs a primer, the primer hooks on to so it can start building the new DNA chain
-RNA primase provides the primer
-The leading strand only needs this RNA primer once at the very beginning
-Then DNA polymerase is all, "I got this" and just follows the unzipping
adding new nucleotided to the new chain continuously
-DNA polymerase can pnly copy strands in the 5' to 3' direction
-So there is a problem... the lagging strand is 3' to 5'
-RNA primase lays down short RNA primers that gives the DNA polymerase a starting point to then work backwards
-Short segments
-DNA polymerase can proofread removing nucleotides from the end of a strand when they discover a mismatched base
*Okazaki fragments*
-RNA primer
-These allow the strands to be synthesized in short bursts
-And then another DNA polymerase has to go back over and replace all those RNA primers
*DNA Ligase*
-All of the little fragments get joined up by a final enzyme called DNA Ligase
*I've created a set of study flashcards for DNA replication and much more, feel free to check it out, and please thumbs this up so others can use this resource! Study on!*

***** You don't have to, but they helped me pass University level Biology.
I just wanted to say I love you. I'm currently taking Bio I and it sucks.
dogdemon62 Thank you, but you should change your views about biology or you will never enjoy the subject. If you are able to "like" or be intrigued about biology, you will end up enjoying it and understand it a lot better.
Your mood towards a subject is really important.
I do like biology, it's just the cells are kind of a difficult concept for me to grasp. I love looking at organisms as a whole, and I understand the organ systems very easily, it's just cells I don't get lol. I lean more towards anatomy and physiology.

PlatinumLuxray freaking creepy, we’re currently watching this is science class.
these videos are the best. the editing and detailed number spewing gives us a few specifics we may have missed in individual studies. this "speccy-eyed nerd" has helped a lot of people understand a number of different topics (and has definitely helped me pass a few challenging classes)by showing off his big brains on the internet by describing whatever topic he is needed to, and people like it so they donate and subscribe to his channel at their leisure
I found myself in here when I feel hard to understand a subject in biology. Than, BOOM. It feels helixciting.
When my baby is fussy, putting him in front of your crash course videos calms him.

Was there an error made at the 5' 3' explanation or am I just having trouble comprehending? Shouldn't the 3' indication circle have been drawn at the third vertice of the pentagonal deoxyribose model?
I was thinking that same thing.
Maybe because the 5 prime and 3 prime bond to one another and so are shown in the same place?
There are suppose to be 2 ester bonds...so maybe the ends refer to the phosphodiester bond on either side of the same sugar. That, if still referring to that first sugar, is still the downstream end of the same molecule. I think it is only mean to refer to a direction.
I do not know, though. That was just my rationalization.
No you're right, there was an error, it should be from the third vertice of the pentagonal sugar, so on top of the phosphate and not below.
Hira Javaid Saeed Thanks
Hira Javaid Saeed Wow I was so confused by that part, can anyone point me to something that can teach it to me correctly?
phrase the lord for youtube teachers. Why waste your time reading long ass textbooks and still end up confused when you can just watch a bunch of these videos. These are so much cooler and so much less boring
"the lord is...uh...the lord."
...ohhhhh you meant PRAISE the lord.
Jennifer Li I disagree. A textbook will give you a much more in-depth view of such mechanisms than a ten minute video, and will leave you with a much better understanding. I find my textbook challenging and interesting. These videos are great, but they are mere supplements to textbooks and the like.

I like Hank's video very much but this one bothers me because there is a big error in the illustration. The illustration should put circles on the 3 prime carbon on deoxyribose sugars. However, the illustration has circles on 5 prime carbons on sugars only. Some people may get confused about the direction from 5 prime to 3 prime carbon means. I hope that the illustration will be corrected for better understanding for the audience.
+musicandfoodheaven The three prime would be at the bottom of the left strand in this case right?
+Jules The Amazing Yes!
Was just about to comment the same thing. It makes me question if this happens in some of the other videos as well when I'm trying to learn things..
They have many mistakes in their videos, especially the history ones which are often really really atrocious, however, they cover what kids need to know for exams, which is often a lot of propaganda, and that is fine. Get an education and give the Dean what he wants, the go off, think for yourself and improve the world xx
Hank Green: "Hey, wanna make one"
Me "Ok, I'm out!"
"How is a teenage boy like the enzyme helicase? They both wanna unzip your genes" oh my lord i have not stopped laughing
I just love you Hank! I have seen sooo many of your videos and have watched them over and over and over and over and over and over again. then after that i watched them again just to be sure i could get all this complicated science stuff down iinto my longterm memory. I am a nursing student and the program moves so fast and the material is so overwhelming that it has truly been a gift to have you as my tutor! Sometimes i think you are giving me this look after my 20th viewing like " do i have to spell it out for you Rainey geez!"LOL Sometimes people just need to know how big of a difference they make in this world and you my friend have truly been a lifesaver so that i can get through all this madness and help save lives myself in return. Also, what a hilarious guy you are! I am your BIGGEST fan!! wish me luck on my blasted microbial genetics exam Tuesdayd!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!
this guy has brought me though all my school years, i cannot thank him enough!!
Only a very small number of people here will understand this, but...
The way I remember what Okazaki fragments are is this--the two strands are only gonna be together a short time before they're separated permanently.
AHHHH! THE FEELS! THE FEELS! I was actually going to make a comment about Okazaki hahaha
Glad to be of service.
Ahh, stop it! I'm gonna start crying when I'm taking my Bio Exam tomorrow! :O
I don't get it! Please let me in on the joke lol
It should be noted that, in a similar fashion, both of the Okazakis who discovered those fragments suffered a similar fate. However, it was the husband who died and not the wife, and he died of a disease.
The guy who covered this in class went through 47 slides in (I kid you not) 20 minutes. I learned more in the first minute and a half of this than I did for the entire lecture.
Jesse Clark my anatomy professor last semester went over entire chapters in one class. Entire chapters could consist of every bone in the body, organ systems, cell structure/reproduction/transcription, and would go down into molecular detail. AND HE EXPECTED US TO ALL HAVE EVERY BIT OF IT MEMORIZED IN A THREE DAY PERIOD. Needless to say, 80% of the class failed.
At 3:14 when you show the 3rd carbon bonding with phosphate, it's actually bonding with the 5th carbon of the next sugar, and carbon bonding is with the upper part of this phosphate and the previous ribose sugar
Good catch.
Everyone always complains about him talking too fast...
It's not that fast at all, you should hear me talk when I'm interested in something.
he has a lot of information to cram into a certain space of time, and if your brain has to work harder to keep up... it works harder at everything else... very clever Hank, very clever! make is slower if you need to.
Is the graphics at 3:18 right? they're pointing at another 5th carbon calling it 3', but the 3' should be the loose end at the veeeery last bit of the whole molecule and the circle should be on, well, the 3rd carbon. Right? or did I not understand this?
+Enzo If you work this out, please let me know, because I'm hella confused
MegaMagicGoat I think the animator got the instructions for the graphics, but since he maybe isn't as big of a science guy, it went over his head and he made that mistake (I think it's a mistake, people more familiar with this should tell us). Naturally, as they're a couple numbers in a couple places, it went over the staff's head as well, all the way to the final video, and the ones who catch it are the people carefully looking and trying to understand this whole deal. Not that a number 3 in second place instead of last is the most important thing in the world, it doesn't look like a huge deal, but it also kinda makes little things like the diversity of life on earth possible and stuff...
LOL well said. And yes, 3' position isn't circled, they only circled the 5' but my students wouldn't notice probably.
I really needed to help this mind boggling concept drop down a few boggles on the boggle scale.
I’ve been watching this guy in all my 3 years in college. All my prereq classes for nursing school are of course science-based & this guy has a video on everything I swear!!! He is so smart
Apart from the 5' Carbons being labelled as 3', great video!

Brady Nichols It*
Agreed but why so complex I don’t understand anything being taught
The 5' to 3' confused me because it circled the wrong thing and pointed the arrows weirdly. So here's what I've understood to help those like me.
1. The deoxyribose, the hexagon with a tail, has 5 Carbon molecules, 1 does not start from the tip, the tip is an Oxygen molecule not a Carbon one, but the next point, right hand side if pentagon is upright, left hand side if it is upside-down, is a Carbon.
2. 2,3,4 follows clockwise for both upright and upside-down deoxyribose, 5 is the tail
The circling of both 3s are wrong:
3a) On the left they should have circled the 2nd line connecting the phosphate (orange ball) to the deoxyribose(hexagon) so 5'-->3' makes sense.
3b) The right side should have had 1 more phosphate (orange ball) above the upside-down deoxyribose so that the 3' Carbon could join it, so 3'-->5' would make sense.
I’ve been looking for a comment like this, the labels are incorrect for sure.
Watching in 2019, I LOVE CRASH COURSE
The joke Hank makes in the video at 9:25 made me laugh so hard.

+Killian Guthrie Same here, and I'll be using them all the way through med school.
Radical
since i was in high school (4 years ago) and now i'm in medicine, i still look into your videos when i don't understand about the material.. God bless you crash course
when watching this do any of you ever think "How the hell does he know this"
i have never understood the 5 prime 3 prime thing...,and probably never will.
This video won't help with that, since they circled only the 5' carbon on each sugar, but labelled half of them 3'.
Well if it helps, nucleotides are added to the 3' end because it has a free OH group which reacts to form the bond, so they're being added from the 5' to the 3' direction
No one understands, not really.
Its chemistry :'3
Look "5 prime and 3 prime DNA diagram" up on google images. Look at a diagram of a single piece of DNA (as in, not the chain, but one rung of the ladder, made of three parts). It should show that the "top" of each DNA rung (at top of phosphate) as "5 prime", and the "bottom" of each rung (at bottom of sugar) as "3 prime". Therefore, as they chain together, you'll have one side of the DNA helix ladder with all the 5 primes facing up, and the other side of the DNA ladder helix with all the 5 primes pointing down. (and yes, he mislabeled the 3 prime and 5 prime in the video). (Why are these parts of the DNA called 5 prime vs. 3 prime? It has to do with the naming of the Carbons in the carbon rings involved. See W douglas Driver's comment somewhere else under all these replies to NOBEL ADHIKARI for a good explanation...)
I have a biology exam tomorrow and this is how I'm revising for it
I’m not studying for a test :) I am just here to do my homework ,I was assigned to watch a DNA video and take notes for science class.
