Molecular Visualizations of DNA

...








It's easy. ...

It's easy. Everything shown here is how matter interacts. I'm curious which you find so convincing. Do you think that divine intervention was necessary to get life started or do you just think that the nature of the universe must have been designed? The former can be refuted by evidence, and the latter, while tentatively the realm of cosmology, is still very open to whichever pet philosophy you happen to prefer.

Not fundamentally ...

Not fundamentally different at all. We've observed so many steps from simple chemistry to living organisms that there really isn't anywhere left to claim that the known behavior of matter isn't enough to explain it.

First it showed ...

First it showed normal hemoglobin molecules in red carrying little blue oxygen molecules. Then it showed the mutated protein with its alternate amino acid in green. This can cause the hemoglobin molecules to bunch up as shown. The long strands of bunched hemoglobin distort the shape of the cells, increasing their chance of getting stuck. This can both decrease the lifespan of the cells, increasing vulnerability to other conditions, and reduce the blood's capacity to carry oxygen.

Yeah, I do as well, ...

Yeah, I do as well, but it's amazing at the same time to know that these complex processes happen inside of us.

Just absolutely ...

Just absolutely beautiful.

Does anyone know ...

Does anyone know what the last scene was showing? I don't understand how that showed hemoglobin and sickle-cell anemia.

Anyone else find ...

Anyone else find this kinda creepy? XD

Possibility 1) This ...

Possibility 1) This system was created by a higher intelligence Possibility 2) There are in infinite number of universes and eventually this system popped up Possibility 3) The Universe works in a fundamentally different way than science understand it today.

It would take me ...

It would take me losing everything I have learned about science and essentially becoming an imbecile. Moguy its not about belief, its about knowledge of how the mechanisms work there is a much better testable and more logical answer than the one you are proffering, and its called science!

la la laaaa laaaa ...

la la laaaa laaaa la

Perhaps it's ...

Perhaps it's because there is no designer.

@ all comments ...

@ all comments about religion here : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

How can some folks ...

How can some folks watch this and STILL not believe we are of intelligent design? I mean seriously, what is it going to take? I would really like to know..

I would also like ...

I would also like to point out that I do believe we were created, but I do NOT like religion. It's kind of aggravating with all the distortion in that area due to deception, greed etc in the church family.

I haven't read any ...

I haven't read any of the comments yet, except yours but I'm assuming that "religion" as you call it, is probably brought up because so many people think this complex and awesome display of obvious design is some sort of oops by natural selection. They then, get into big debates with people who are not believers of such things and rely on the "still trying to figure it out with science in 2012 and on, prob forever". Personally I don't understand how anyone could claim random mutation here.

The technique you ...

The technique you are talking about does not exist. Light can't help us. Electron beams are too strong and will destroy a cell before we gain anything. But I hope some day, people will find a way to show real image. It will be the most important breakthrough in biology and material science.

science is a tool, ...

science is a tool, limited instruments of measurement, english is false. your 5 senses is limited. you are own by the CROWN. your dna is activated by your emotions it from comes the heart, da heart is in tune with the source, the source is YOU and everyone. when you find the source. dont restrict it in a closed surrounding, embrace it in the open in silence, There you will understand how to leave this vessell, dna is partly to your journey to this. I love scince and hate it on some many levels

Simply because ...

Simply because science helps to explain what was previously, "Unexplainable" by the human mind, when the subject of "God" was brought to the table. What you should have realized is that Einstein was right. He said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Enjoy the ride.

She sounds like ...

She sounds like Daria. No joke.

where is there ...

where is there anything to do with religion?

"not studied"? You ...

"not studied"? You want to go back to the Middle Ages? You know, you can enjoy things AND study them at the same time.

Wish i could ...

Wish i could activate all of my dna!

cool dna video. ...

cool dna video. Those 3d bugs spiders thing at 0:49 & 3:13 freak me out

molecules are ...

molecules are highly sensitive and most attempts to view them end up destroying them in the process. perhaps in the future of nanotechnology a nano sized engineered organic "camera" could be injected into a cell and emit harmless reflective particles (like photons) and store the result although that's highly theoretical.
