Nucleic Acids There are two kinds of nucleic acids in cells: –Ribonucleic acids (RNA) –Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) Both RNA and DNA are polymers built from monomers called nucleotides. A nucleotide is composed of: –A base, a monosaccharide, and a phosphate 3

Hydrogen Bonding!

Discovery of DNA Structure One of the most important discoveries in biology Why is this important – " This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest “ --- Watson and Crick, Nature, 1953 Good illustration of science in action: –Missteps in the path to a discovery –Value of knowledge –Value of collaboration –Cost of sharing your data too early

Covalent Structure of DNA ( ) Friedrich Miescher isolates “nuclein” from cell nuclei Hydrolysis of nuclein: –phosphate –pentose –and a nucleobase Chemical analysis: –phosphodiester linkages –pentose is ribofuranoside Structure of DNA: 1929 (Levene and London) Structure of DNA: 1935 (Levene and Tipson)

Road to the Double Helix Franklin and Wilkins: –“Cross” means helix –“Diamonds” mean that the phosphate- sugar backbone is outside – Calculated helical parameters Watson and Crick: – Missing layer means alternating pattern (major & minor groove) – Hydrogen bonding: A pairs with T G pairs with C Double helix fits the data! Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared 1962 Nobel Prize Franklin died in 1958

DNA Replication “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material” Watson and Crick, in their Nature paper,1953

Step 1: helicase Step 2: DNA polymerase Step 3: DNA ligase
