A HISTORY OF DNA DNA double helixDiscovery of the DNA double helix A. Frederick Griffith – Discovers that a factor in diseased bacteria can transform harmless bacteria into deadly bacteria (1928) B.Rosalind Franklin - X-ray photo of DNA. (1952) C.Watson and Crick - described the DNA molecule from Franklin’s X-ray. (1953)

Watson & Crick proposed… DNA had specific pairing between the nitrogen bases:DNA had specific pairing between the nitrogen bases: ADENINE – THYMINE CYTOSINE - GUANINE DNA was made of 2 long stands of nucleotides arranged in a specific way called the “Complementary Rule”DNA was made of 2 long stands of nucleotides arranged in a specific way called the “Complementary Rule”

12
DNA is wrapped tightly around histones and coiled tightly to form chromosomes See p. 297
13
DNA Replication Replication = Duplication –Happens in the S phase of Interphase –Must replicate before mitosis or meiosis I Part of the double helix is unwound Replication in small pieces (Okazaki fragments) Enzyme stitches pieces together later
14
DNA Replication DNA must be copiedDNA must be copied The DNA molecule produces 2 IDENTICAL new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing: A- T, G-CThe DNA molecule produces 2 IDENTICAL new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing: A- T, G-C Each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strandEach strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strand
15
Semi-Conservative Replication One-half of each new molecule of DNA is old (template strand) One-half of new molecule of DNA is new (complementary strand)
16
DNA Replication Semiconservative Model:Semiconservative Model: Watson and Crick showed: 1.Watson and Crick showed: the two strands of the parental molecule separate, and each functions as a template for synthesis of a new complementary strand.. Parental DNA DNA Template New DNA
17
What is a Gene? A length of DNA on a chromosome May be in several parts –Exon – the expressed parts of the DNA sequence –Intron – the intervening, “junk DNA”, not expressed Parts are cut, put together and then used to make RNA and proteins
18
DNA Transcription DNA can “unzip” itself and RNA nucleotides match up to the DNA strand.DNA can “unzip” itself and RNA nucleotides match up to the DNA strand. Both DNA & RNA are formed from NUCLEOTIDES and are called NUCLEIC acids.Both DNA & RNA are formed from NUCLEOTIDES and are called NUCLEIC acids.

DNA Transcription & Protein Translation Honors Biology SOL.BIO.6f
20
DNA Transcription DNA must be copied to messenger RNA (mRNA) mRNA goes from nucleus to the ribosomes in cytoplasm mRNA complements known as codons –Only 3 nucleotide “letters” long Remember RNA has uracil (U) instead of thymine (T)!
21
Transcription – Step I A C G T A T C G C G T A T G C A T A G C G C A T Template DNA Strands
22
Transcription – Step II A C G T A T C G C G T A U G C A U A G C G C A U Template DNA is Matched Up with Complementary mRNA Sequences
23
Transcription – Step III mRNA leaves nucleus and goes to ribosomes U G C A U A G C G C A U A new complementary RNA strand is made (rRNA) A C G U A U C G C G U A
24
Transcription Reminders The template strand is the DNA strand being copied The rRNA strand is the same as the DNA strand except Us have replaced Ts
25
Protein Translation Modified genetic code is “translated” into proteins Codon code is specific, but redundant! –20 amino acids –64 triplet (codon) combinations
26
tRNA in cytoplasm has a codon attached to an amino acid
27
tRNA structure 3-base code (triplet) is an “anticodon” Protein molecule Attached amino acid that is carried from cytoplasm to ribosomes
29
RNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
30
How your cell makes very important proteins proteinsThe production (synthesis) of proteins. 3 phases3 phases: 1.Transcription 2.RNA processing 3.Translation DNA RNA ProteinDNA RNA Protein

DNA RNA Protein Nuclear membrane Transcription RNA Processing Translation DNA Pre-mRNA mRNA Ribosome Protein Eukaryotic Cell
32
Before making proteins, Your cell must first make RNA Question:Question: RNA(ribonucleic acid) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)How does RNA (ribonucleic acid) differ from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?

36
1. Transcription OR RNA production RNA molecules are produced by copying part of DNA into a complementary sequence of RNA This process is started and controlled by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

Types of RNA Three types ofRNAThree types of RNA: A.messenger RNA (mRNA) B.transfer RNA (tRNA) C.ribosome RNA (rRNA) Remember: all produced in the nucleus!Remember: all produced in the nucleus!

Protein Synthesis Start: Ribosome binds to mRNA at start codon (AUG) Elongation: –tRNA complexes bind to mRNA codon by forming complementary base pairs with the tRNA anticodon –The ribosome moves from codon to codon along the mRNA. –Amino acids are added one by one Release: release factor binds to the stop codon
