A Protein Printer

Codon

All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein. It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology. The ribosome is a molecular printer that threads ‘beads’ onto a protein string. This is simple. And we want to subvert this.

Codon Digest: Hackathon Prize Winners

Codon

A T4 phage can hold 171,000 bases of DNA or other molecules, including proteins and RNA. It uses single-molecule RNA fluorescence to measure mRNAs and fluorescent reporters to measure the proteins. Future Nobel Laureate, Paul Berg, narrated the video, which quickly became a cult classic moment in molecular biology history.
