Nucleotides, DNA, Transcription, and Translation

Nucleotides and DNA are not a main source of nutrition, but we do consume them. This video takes a more biochemical, rather than nutritional, look at Nucleotides and DNA. Topics covered are nucleotide structure (ribose, phosphate, base), DNA structure (antiparallel double helix, major/minor groove, base pairing), nucleosomes, DNA replication, transcription of mRNA and post-transcriptional modifications of mRNA, the structure of tRNA, translation initiation and elongation.
