If you’ve spent a lot of time on the internet and have a passing interest in biology, you’ve probably run across this video, “The Inner Life of the Cell“. While fellow science nerds and I have had fun identifying things like ribosomes translating RNA or microtubule dissociation, the MCB department at Harvard (which developed the video) has a less widely distributed version, which includes explanations of each animation. You can view the explanation video here by clicking on the “Inner Life: View the Animation” (the first picture). Flash or Quicktime is required.
Update 11/29/2008: Videos are now hosted on the minimalpotential youtube channel. Also see the official Biovisions website for more info.
