      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

If you could see life as it was, you wouldn't give a shit about those things. I hope one day you awaken to it because I care about you and your happiness. Yes you, the one reading this. I care and wish for you to one day feel the true wonder at life that fantasy and fiction can never give.

      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.

    • @conceptswithkat3045
      @conceptswithkat3045 8 лет назад +24

      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...)

    • @coenijn
      @coenijn 8 лет назад +10

      +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.

    *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

    • @toastysplox5338
      @toastysplox5338 9 лет назад +1

      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.

    • @oxford_phd

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.

    At 3:15 it looks very misleading, you've highlighted both the exactly same number carbon of a deoxyribose sugar and labelled it a 5th carbon and 3rd carbon. They both look like the 5th carbon of 2 separate monomers. You should label the south western carbon of a sugar as the 3rd carbon, so people can understand the 5' and 3' ends properly
