This major motion picture, many weeks in the making, was filmed on location at Stanford University.
In 1971, a couple of medical students at Stanford University wanted to create a movie about protein synthesis using interpretive dancing to simulate molecular dynamics. They approached Paul Berg, who was then the Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, for technical advice and money to finance the film.
Once the film got the green light, the students assembled a film crew and a cadre of dancers and shot the film in a single day. The result is an initial presentation on the basics of protein synthesis by Paul Berg, followed by an interpretive dance illustrating the major events of protein synthesis.
Starring in this movie and never before seen together on the same screen
Paul Berg as himself
30S and 50 S as the
ribosomal subunits,
mRNA as the
information source
initiation and termination
factors, as the regulatory subunits
amino acids as
the essential building blocks and
GTP starring as
The Energy Source
Even though the movie was made 30 years ago, it is still technically correct and provides students with a memorable and humorous look at protein synthesis.
Running Time : 15 minutes
