You should be able to… 3.3.1 Outline DNA nucleotide structure in terms of sugar (deoxyribose), base and phosphate. 3.3.2 State the names of the four bases in DNA. 3.3.3 Outline how DNA nucleotides are linked together by covalent bonds into a single strand. 3.3.4 Explain how a DNA double helix is formed using complementary base pairing and hydrogen bonds. 3.3.5 Draw and label a simple diagram of the molecular structure of DNA.
Phosphate base Stay the same sugar Changes Contains nitrogen & carbon Pentose sugar (5 Carbon atoms) Nucleotide Structure 3 components: • Pentose sugar (ribose in DNA) • Phosphoric acid • Organic base (always contains nitrogen)
4 Bases • Purines – • Double ringed structure • Pyrimidines – • Single ringed structure
Phosphate 2 condensation reactions occur in the formation of a nucleotide: H Ester bond OH Glycosidic bond OH H Base Sugar
Tell me… 4 names of bases in DNA • components of a nucleotide 2 types of bonds in a nucleotide 1 difference between purine and pyrimidine bases
Complementary Base Pairing *Purines always pair with pyrimidines* A joins to T (2 hydrogen bonds) C joins to G (3 hydrogen bonds) see

5’ 3 hydrogen bonds 3’ C G 0.34nm A T 3’ 2 hydrogen bonds 5’ 2nm
For the DNA strand 5'-TACGATCATAT-3' the correct complementary DNA strand is:
Nucleotide 3 components: Pentose sugar; deoxyribose Phosphate group Nitrogenous base; 4 types: Join by condensation phosphate base Stay the same sugar Changes Contains nitrogen & carbon Ribose sugar in RNA Deoxyribose sugar in DNA Pentose sugar (5 Carbon atoms)
