Discovering the Structure of DNAPhoebus Levine

- Russian-American biochemist

- Identified the 5-carbon sugars ribose in 1909 and deoxyribose in 1929

- Discovered that the three parts of a nucleotide are found in equal proportions

- Sugar- Phosphate- Nitrogen Base

13

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist

- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships

- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G

14

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo

DNA Structure

A single building block is a nucleotide

Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types

- Adenine (A) Guanine (G) = Purines- Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) = Pyrimidines

History of DNAArchibald Garrod 1902- English physician

- Linked inheritance of ldquoinborn

errors of metabolismrdquo with the

lack of a particular enzyme for

breakdown of 2 amino acid

- First described the disease

alkaptonuria black urine

bone and cartilage and

osteoarthritis

6

History of DNAFrederick Griffith 1928

- English microbiologist

- Established the concept of transformation

a change in genotype (genetic makeup) by a foreign substance that changes the phenotype (observed properties or trait)

7

Frederick Griffith

Worked with Diplococcus pneumonia which exists in two typeso Type S (Smooth) = Produces capsule

o Type R (Rough) = No capsule

o Capsule associated with virulence (causing disease)

Discovering the Structure of DNAPhoebus Levine

- Russian-American biochemist

- Identified the 5-carbon sugars ribose in 1909 and deoxyribose in 1929

- Discovered that the three parts of a nucleotide are found in equal proportions

- Sugar- Phosphate- Nitrogen Base

13

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist

- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships

- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G

14

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo

15

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Franklin reasoned that the DNA is a helix with symmetrically organized subunits

History of DNA

Avery MacLeod and McCarty 1944- American physicians- DNA is the transforming material

(Can convert Type R bacteria into S)

bull American microbiologists

bull Viruses can infect E coli bacteria

bull A virus in not a cell it has protein ldquoheadrdquo and DNA core

bull Can replicate only using host living cells as host

bull DNA is the genetic material of these viruses

Discovering the Structure of DNAPhoebus Levine

- Russian-American biochemist

- Identified the 5-carbon sugars ribose in 1909 and deoxyribose in 1929

- Discovered that the three parts of a nucleotide are found in equal proportions

- Sugar- Phosphate- Nitrogen Base

13

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist

- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships

- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G

14

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo

15

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Franklin reasoned that the DNA is a helix with symmetrically organized subunits

DNA Structure

A single building block is a nucleotide

Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types

- Adenine (A) Guanine (G) = Purines- Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) = Pyrimidines

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist

- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships

- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G

14

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo

15

Discovering the Structure of DNA

Franklin reasoned that the DNA is a helix with symmetrically organized subunits

Figure 94

16

Discovering the Structure of DNAJames Watson and Francis Crick- Did not perform any experiments

- Used results of others and cardboard cutouts to build a model of the structure of DNA

Figure 95

17

DNA Structure

A single building block is a nucleotide

Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types

- Adenine (A) Guanine (G) = Purines- Cytosine (C) Thymine (T) = Pyrimidines

DNA Structure

Nucleotides join via a bond between the 5rsquo-phosphate of one and the 3rsquo hydroxyl of another- This creates a continuous sugar-phosphate backbone

Figure 98

21

Polarity and anti-parallel nature of the two DNA strands (5rsquo and 3rsquo ends)

22

Two polynucleotide chains align forming a double helix- The opposing orientation (head-to-toe) is called antiparallelism

Figure 99

23

One strand of the double-helix runs in a 5rsquo to 3rsquo direction and the other strand runs in a 3rsquoto 5rsquo direction

Figure 911

24

DNA StructureThe key to the constant width of the double helix is the

specific pairing of its complementary bases via hydrogen bonds

25

DNA is Highly Condensed

The DNA coils around proteins called histones forming a bead-on-a-string-like structure

The bead part is called the nucleosomeThe nucleosome in turn winds tighter forming

chromatinChromatin fibers attach in loops to scaffold proteins

Molecular Definition of a Gene

A gene is a segment of DNA that directs the formation of RNA to produce protein

The protein (or functional RNA) creates the phenotype

Information is conveyed by the sequence of the nucleotides

DNA ReplicationAt first researchers suggested that DNA

might replicate in any of 3 possible ways

Model of DNA Replication

Organization of DNA Strand

1 Conservative oldold + newnew

2 Semi-conservative oldnew + newold

DNA ReplicationMatthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl 1957

- Grew E coli on media containing 15N for several generations

DNA with 15N is heavy- Moved bacteria to media containing 14N- Then traced replicating DNA - Determined that DNA replication is semi-conservative

DNA Structure

Nucleotides join via a bond between the 5rsquo-phosphate of one and the 3rsquo hydroxyl of another- This creates a continuous sugar-phosphate backbone

Figure 98

21

Polarity and anti-parallel nature of the two DNA strands (5rsquo and 3rsquo ends)

22

Two polynucleotide chains align forming a double helix- The opposing orientation (head-to-toe) is called antiparallelism

Figure 99

23

One strand of the double-helix runs in a 5rsquo to 3rsquo direction and the other strand runs in a 3rsquoto 5rsquo direction

Figure 911

24

DNA StructureThe key to the constant width of the double helix is the

specific pairing of its complementary bases via hydrogen bonds

25

DNA is Highly Condensed

The DNA coils around proteins called histones forming a bead-on-a-string-like structure

The bead part is called the nucleosomeThe nucleosome in turn winds tighter forming

Molecular Definition of a Gene

A gene is a segment of DNA that directs the formation of RNA to produce protein

The protein (or functional RNA) creates the phenotype

Information is conveyed by the sequence of the nucleotides

DNA StructureThe key to the constant width of the double helix is the

specific pairing of its complementary bases via hydrogen bonds

25

DNA is Highly Condensed

The DNA coils around proteins called histones forming a bead-on-a-string-like structure

The bead part is called the nucleosomeThe nucleosome in turn winds tighter forming

chromatinChromatin fibers attach in loops to scaffold proteins

Molecular Definition of a Gene

A gene is a segment of DNA that directs the formation of RNA to produce protein

The protein (or functional RNA) creates the phenotype

Information is conveyed by the sequence of the nucleotides

Overview of DNA Replication

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle prior to cell division

Human DNA replicates about 50 basessecA human chromosome replicates

simultaneously at hundred points along its length

A site where DNA is locally opened is called a replication fork

Life span of dividing cellsbull Telomerase is active in sperm eggs stem cells (bone

marrow) and cancer cells but not in somatic tissuesbull Most cells lose 50-200 endmost bases after each cell

divisionbull After about 50 divisions shortened telomeres signal the

cell to stop dividing
