Take out your homework
2
DNA WHY does G pair with C? What forces hold the base pairs together? What are the three functions of DNA? What does ‘antiparallel’ mean?
3
Sugar - deoxyribose
5
3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ to 5’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ to 5’
6
The two strands are ‘antiparallel’ That’s how the charges line up
7
Adenine Guanine Cytosine Thymine
8
Guanine Cytosine
10
DNA What are the three functions DNA must perform? Store, Copy, Transmit So, how is DNA copied?
11
DNA A little background: -ase means enzyme enzymes are proteins that control reactions What’s a “polymer”? So WHAT does DNA Polymerase do?
12
DNA So, how is DNA copied?
13
DNA Replication What’s the first thing you have to do? Break the H-bonds Helicase does that.
14
AATGGCTAGC
15
DNA Replication It’s almost that simple DNA ‘unzips’ to form a REPLICATION FORK DNA Polymerase puts the bases in (but they have to fit) DNA Polymerase only works 5’ to 3’

19
Review What are the roles of: DNA Polymerase Helicase Ligase Single-Stranded Binding Protein What is the ‘significance’ of the 5 – 3 nature of DNA and DNA Polymerase? Covalent Bond Hydrogen ‘bond’ (interaction)
20
Review In eukaryotes, DNA Polymerase can copy from a few to thousands of bases a SECOND DNA Polymerase has ‘proofreading’ ability How would it ‘know’? Other enzymes can remove just the base later, if needed.
