Manga de Wakaru Bunshi Seibutsugaku

Two students, Rin and Ami, have missed molecular biology classes throughout the semester and are sent by Professor Moro to summer school on his private island. There, they use a virtual reality machine to explore the human body and learn about molecular biology. The experience introduces DNA, RNA, proteins, amino acids, and related concepts. They observe chemical reactions and encounter characters such as Enzyme Man and Drinkzilla, who demonstrate how the liver processes alcohol. The story covers cell organelles, proteins, and their roles in cellular functions. It explains transcription, translation, and how genes produce proteins. Topics include nucleotides, codons, introns, exons, DNA replication, mitosis, cytokinesis, and genetic technologies like transduction and cloning. It also touches on the medical applications of molecular biology.
