DNA STRUCTURE

DNA Structure DNA is a polymer of nucleotides, each consisting of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group A-T; C-G made up of two strands, forming a double helix Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Thymine (T) Adenine (A) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)

Fig (c) Space-filling model Hydrogen bond 3 end 5 end 3.4 nm 0.34 nm 3 end 5 end (b) Partial chemical structure (a) Key features of DNA structure 1 nm

Watson and Crick built models of a double helix to conform to the X-rays and chemistry of DNA Franklin had concluded that there were two antiparallel sugar-phosphate backbones, with the nitrogenous bases paired in the molecule ’ s interior At first, Watson and Crick thought the bases paired like with like (A with A, and so on), but such pairings did not result in a uniform width Instead, pairing a purine (2 rings) with a pyrimidine (1 ring) resulted in a uniform width consistent with the X-ray Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Watson

Edwin Chargaff, in 1949, noted two critical bits of data

Fig. 16-UN1 Purine + purine: too wide Pyrimidine + pyrimidine: too narrow Purine + pyrimidine: width consistent with X-ray data

The amount of A = T, and the amount of C = G.

They determined that adenine (A) paired only with thymine (T), and guanine (G) paired only with cytosine (C) The Watson-Crick model explains Chargaff ’ s rules: in any organism the amount of A = T, and the amount of G = C Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Rosalind Franklin used x-ray diffraction techniques to produce images of DNA molecules. She concluded: –DNA exists as a long, thin molecule of uniform diameter – –The structure is highly repetitive – –DNA is helical

Watson and Crick used numerous sources of data to build models of DNA.

The following features were incorporated into their model The bases were hydrogen bonded (a weak bond) together in the center of the helix –T (a pyrimidine) had two hydrogen bonds with A (a purine) – –C (a pyrimidine) had three hydrogen bonds with G (a purine)

The backbone was made of chains of deoxyribose sugar covalently bonded (a strong bond) to phosphate groups. The phosphate group is bonded to the 3’ carbon of one deoxyribose, and the 5’ carbon of another. Covalent Bond 3’ Carbon 5’ Carbon

Each sugar of the backbone is covalently bonded to the nitrogenous base off of carbon 1. Covalent Bond 1’ Carbon

There are 10 base pairs per turn of the helix.

The two sides are anti-parallel, meaning that the sugar and phosphates are running in opposite directions. Each side ends in a phosphate (5’ end) and a sugar (3’ end) Since the sides are anti-parallel, one side goes in the 3' to 5' direction, and the other goes in the 5' to 3' direction.

The base pairing is constant for all species, but the sequence of base pairs in a nucleotide strand is different from one species to the next. These are all the genomes that have been sequenced to date

A chromosome consists of a DNA molecule packed together with proteins The bacterial chromosome is a double-stranded, circular DNA molecule associated with a small amount of protein Eukaryotic chromosomes have linear DNA molecules associated with a large amount of protein In a bacterium, the DNA is “ supercoiled ” and found in a region of the cell called the nucleoid Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and protein, and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells Histones are proteins that are responsible for the first level of DNA packing in chromatin A set of eight proteins called histones act as spools to wind the DNA into units called nucleosomes Nucleosomes form a beaded chain and form additional loops to make up a chromosome Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
