2
The Central Dogma Replication-> Transcription-> Translation Modified from Kim Foglia
3
Bodies are made up of cells All cells run on a set of instructions spelled out in DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid)
4
How does DNA code for cells & bodies? DNA synthesized ( REPLICATION) ->RNA-> proteins->cells
5
DNA has the information to build proteins genes proteins cells bodies DNA gets all the glory, Proteins do all the work
6
cytoplasm nucleus DNA DNA is in the nucleus ▪ genes = instructions for making proteins want to keep it there = protected ▪ “locked in the vault”
8
2 types of nucleotides different nitrogen bases purines ▪ double ring N base ▪ adenine (A) ▪ guanine (G) pyrimidines ▪ single ring N base ▪ cytosine (C) ▪ thymine (T) ▪ uracil (U) Purine = AG Pure silver!
9
Nucleotides bond between DNA strands H bonds phosphodiester bonds purine :: pyrimidine A :: T ▪ 2 H bonds G :: C ▪ 3 H bonds Matching bases? Why is this important?
10
Need to get DNA gene information from nucleus to cytoplasm need a copy of DNA messenger RNA nucleus cytoplasm ribosome mRNA build proteins
11
DNA deoxyribose sugar nitrogen bases G, C, A, T T : A C : G double stranded RNA ribose sugar nitrogen bases G, C, A, U U : A C : G single stranded
12
Making mRNA from DNA DNA strand is the template (pattern) match bases ▪ U : A ▪ G : C Enzyme RNA polymerase
13
Ribonucleic acid RNA nucleotide ( ribose, phosphate, AUCG) Phosphodiester bonds Synthesis ( transcription) nucleolus
14
Messenger RNA: carries coded instruction for protein synthesis Transfer RNA: carries specific amino acids to ribosomes during protein assembly Ribosomal RNA: part of ribosomes
15
mRNA leaves nucleus mRNA goes to ribosomes in cytoplasm Proteins built from instructions on mRNA aa mRNA UCCCCCCAAUGUGAAAAAGGGGUU
16
Proteins chains of amino acids made by a “protein factory” in cytoplasm protein factory = ribosome nucleus cytoplasm ribosome build proteins
17
Proteins proteins run living organisms enzymes ▪ control all chemical reactions in living organisms structure ▪ all living organisms are built out of proteins
18
Building block = amino acid amino acid – amino acid – amino acid – amino acid – —N——N— H H H | —C— | C—OH || O variable group amino acids 20 different amino acids
19
Proteins :amino acids chained into a polymer, primary structure held by peptide bonds Each amino acid is different some “like” water & dissolve in it some “fear” water & separate from it amino acid
20
Primary structure: chain of amino acids held by peptide bonds Sensitive to temperature, pH and ionic conditions Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes
22
