Structure of DNA • Nucleic acid with • Nitrogenous base • 5-C sugar • Phosphates • Nature of the molecule confers polarity!!! • If it’s polar – then it acts as a magnet
Structure of DNA • Nucleic acid with • Nitrogenous base • 5-C sugar • Phosphates • Nature of the molecule confers polarity!!! • If it’s polar – then it acts as a magnet
Creating the Fragmemnts • Scientists discovered bacterial enzymes that digest foreign DNA to protect themselves • We use these “restriction enzymes,” that cleave DNA strands at known base pair patterns or repeats, to “cut” our strands into fragments.
Viewing a Gel!! • Using your ladder to create a standard curve • Estimation of base pairs in fragments based on standard curves
