Ah, yes: the central dogma of pre-genetic engineering
molecular biology.
These are animations by my then-staff member Drew Berry of DNA
replication, transcription and splicing. He did this from original
papers and with the advice of scores of actual molecular biologists
including many genetic engineers. If you can fault any of it, feel free
to do so.
These are actually exceptionally good! On first view, I have only two
points of criticism:
1. Level of detail. It's a great fun for those who know the molecules
involved and understand rather well what's going on, but it's does
not seem to be particularly useful as an education tool (besides,
perhaps, conveying the message of complexity and directionality).
2. Translated protein folding is shown to be 100% autonomous. I
think it is pretty well established by now that most if not all
emerging peptides end up binding to one or more molecular
chaperone.
