animations of DNA and replication

I've been listening to a series of audio lectures on replication and DNA. It's really cool stuff. But since it's audio only, I fail to get a good visual picture of some the - very complicated - processes. So I'm searching through the net for some good animations, particularly about ribosoms (sp?) and how they synthesize proteins out of RNA. Anyone know of any cool animations?

I don't think it's limited to DNA, but if you spend about 10 minutes getting familiar with the below site I think you'll find some uber cool animations and models:

Here is another source...

You will find neat animations here on replications, transcription, and translation.

 

There is one animation of the cell that is completely mind blowing. I think this is the best animation I have seen to this date. Makes you just fall in love. This is totally perfect to show in introductory classes in college and in high school.

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the harvard folks who conceived it.
