  • How does your blood know where to deliver oxygen in your body? Let's explore the basics of how hemoglobin works and how it serves as an awesome intro to biochemistry.
    Ultimately, this video simplifies a lot of the details of the processes that help hemoglobin pick up and release oxygen. I go over that in some more detail here: bit.ly/clockworkep1

    I really like it when youtubers make their own (aesthetic) animations, instead of only using images from the internet or writing/drawing everything on a board, because, to me a TH-cam video is like a dish, sure, the most important part is the information/taste, but the presentation also REALLY matters. The only thing I didn't like was how hydrogen was represented by red circles and oxygen by white circles instead of the opposite. Still, great video, can't wait for the next one ;-)

    • @Clockworkbio
      @Clockworkbio  4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I realized that mistake approximately 15 minutes after I uploaded this animation and I felt like the world's biggest idiot. I'll have it fixed for all future episodes. Gotta keep it consistent with the community.
      I have no idea how I didn't notice that the whole time I was making this. Literally every resource I have ever read has had white hydrogen and red oxygen.

    There's also a good reason that it is a tetramer. Each subunit binding oxygen enhances the binding strenght of the others. That makes the binding curve steeper, so it gets more saturated in the lungs and more depleted in the body. So more oxygen gets delivered. This would not be thermodynamically possible as a monomer.

  • @AT-zl6xi
    @AT-zl6xi 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is really well done! Since I know you're reading the comments I have a few humble suggestions :)
    - Music is a bit loud and voice is a bit soft.
    - I'm someone that needs to hear something described a few different times in a few different ways before it really clicks. While your delivery is good and the content is clear, sometimes "pivotal information" is quickly introduced and then left behind. One of the reasons 3blue1brown is very popular is because he tends to dwell on the key points. If you approach things in a few different ways, people who already "get it" won't be bored and people who need some reinforcement can have some time for the information to sink in. Like at 5:40, no actually, I forgot where you're going with this lmao.
    Anyway, just some thoughts. Great animation, good content, and I like that you also put things into perspective: "Life just works" "Structure equals function"

    • @Clockworkbio
      @Clockworkbio  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me make the channel better! I want to run through all your points because I'm working to improve a lot of these already!
      -It's not even that the music is too loud, what's worse is that I did SUCH a lazy job of EQing the tracks. I need to take a lot more of the mid-range out of the music so that the songs and my voice don't compete as much for attention. I already saved a preset that should completely sort this for future episodes!
      -I'm exactly the same way as a learner, to the point that I would get REALLY obnoxious about repetition and finding different angles to explain the same processes back when I was a teacher. Literally the only reason I didn't do that here was because I ran out of time. I was really worried that the style of this channel wouldn't resonate with anyone that I didn't want to take another two weeks making a review of what I covered here--I just wanted it out in the world. I think I've figured out a better animation workflow that'll help me make longer videos in the future though--and I definitely want to lean on the side of over explaining in the future!
      Either way, your comment rules and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help me get better! This place feels more like 2007 youtube than anything.

    The reason I zoned out of bio in high school was they always tried to make things a metaphor. "It's like a little bus!" No it isn't.
    It's so nice to have proteins explained to me without all that excess baloney. I've always wanted to learn more about this stuff, but never found the right explanations I guess. I appreciate that your artwork isn't overly stylized too, it helps me picture what's happening more. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos; thank you.
