This video helps to conceptualize what is happening to the leading and lagging strands during transcription. The video starts out with a still picture that shows all of the relevant proteins. It then goes into an animation and shows how the leading strand is continuously synthesized, while the lagging strand is synthesized in pieces. It also shows how the lagging strand folds over so the DNA Polymerase can add nucleotides to the template strand.
This video is pretty cool! It is sooo fetch! It shows some of the processes that DNA goes through like coiling, replication, transcription and translation. It uses computer animation based on molecular research to show a 3-D view of what is happening during these amazing processes that DNA undergoes. Not only does it show the processes, but it also gives explanations about what is happening.
