STRUCTURE OF DNA DNA REPLICATION
DNA is wrapped tightly around histones and coiled tightly to form chromosomes
DNA DNAis often called the blueprint of life. In simple terms, DNA contains the instructions for making proteins within the cell.
DNA by the numbers Each cell has about 2 m of DNA. The average human has 75 trillion cells. The average human has enough DNA to go from the earth to the sun more than 400 times. DNA has a diameter of only 0.000000002 m. The earth is 150 billion m or 93 million miles from the sun.
Why do we study DNA? We study DNA for many reasons, e.g., its central importance to all life on Earth, medical benefits such as cures for diseases, better food crops.
Chromosomes and DNA Our genes are on our chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of a chemical called DNA.
DNA Structure • DNA consists of two molecules that are arranged into a ladder-like structure called a Double Helix. • A molecule of DNA is made up of millions of tiny subunits called Nucleotides. • Each nucleotide consists of: • Phosphate group • Pentose sugar • Nitrogenous base
One Strand of DNA The backbone of the molecule is alternating phosphate and deoxyribose, a sugar, parts. The teeth are nitrogenousbases. phosphate deoxyribose bases
Nucleotides Phosphate Nitrogenous Base Pentose Sugar
Nucleotides • The phosphate and sugar form the backbone of the DNA molecule, whereas the bases form the “rungs”. • There are four types of nitrogenous bases.
Nucleotides A T C Adenine Thymine G Guanine Cytosine
Nucleotides Form a base pair. Form a base pair. • Each base will only bond with one other specific base. • Adenine (A) • Thymine (T) • Cytosine (C) • Guanine (G)
Four nitrogenous bases Cytosine C Thymine T Adenine A Guanine G DNA has four different bases:
Two Kinds of Bases in DNA Pyrimidines are single ring bases. Purines are double ring bases. N N C N C C C N N C N N C O C C N C
Thymine and Cytosine are pyrimidines Thymine and cytosine each have one ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms. N O N N C C O C C O C C C N C N C thymine cytosine
Adenine and Guanine are purines Adenine and guanine each have two rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms. O N N N C C N C C C C N N N C N C C Guanine Adenine C N N
Two Stranded DNA Remember, DNA has two strands that fit together something like a zipper. The teeth are the nitrogenous bases but why do they stick together?
The bases attract each other because of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are weak but there are millions and millions of them in a single molecule of DNA. (The bonds between cytosine and guanine are shown here.) Hydrogen Bonds N O N C N C O C C N C C N N C N C C N
Hydrogen Bonds, cont. When making hydrogen bonds, cytosine always pairs up with guanine, And adenine always pairs up with thymine. (Adenine and thymine are shown here.) O N C O C C C N C N N C C C N N C C N
Important: Adenine and Thymine always join together A T Cytosine and Guanine always join together C G
DNA Structure • Because of this complementary base pairing, the order of the bases in one strand determines the order of the bases in the other strand.
A T A A A T T T C C C G G G
DNA Structure • To crack the genetic code found in DNA we need to look at the sequence of bases. • The bases are arranged in triplets called codons. A G G - C T C - A A G - T C C - T A G T C C - G A G - T T C - A G G - A T C
DNA Structure • A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a protein. • Each unique gene has a unique sequence of bases. • This unique sequence of bases will code for the production of a unique protein. • It is these proteins and combination of proteins that give us a unique phenotype.
STRUCTURE OF DNA DNA REPLICATION
DNA Replication DNA must be copied The DNA molecule produces 2 IDENTICAL new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing: A-T, G-C • Each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for the new strand
DNA Replication Complementary base pairs form new strands.
DNA Replication Semiconservative Model: Watson and Crick showed: the two strands of theseparate, and each functions as a for synthesis of a new complementary strand. DNA Template Parental DNA New DNA

1. Why is replication necessary? 2. When does replication occur? 3. Describe how replication works. Use the complementary rule to create the complementary strand: Replication Quiz A---? G---? C---? T---? A---? G---? A---? G---? C---? A---? G---? T---?
1. Why is replication necessary? So both new cells will have the correct DNA 2. When does replication occur? During interphase (S phase). 3. Describe how replication works. Enzymes unzip DNA and complementary nucleotides join each original strand. 4. Use the complementary rule to create the complementary strand: Replication Quiz A---T G---C C---G T---A A---T G---C A---T G---C C---G A---T G---C T---A

Enzymology of DNA replication DNA strand separation Helicases: unwind double strand DNA Single-strand DNA binding proteins (SSBs): participate in DNA strand separation but do not catalyze the strand separation process. They bind to single strand DNA as soon as it forms and coat it so that it cannot anneal to reform a double helix. Topoisomerases: introduce transient single or double stranded breaks into DNA and thereby allow it to change its form, or topology.
3’-5’ exo DNA polymerases Three DNA polymerases (I, II, III) DNA polymerase I (102 KD): has three different enzymatic activities DNA polymerase 3’-5’ exonuclease activity 5’-3’ exonulcease activity (proof reading to increase fidelity) (remove RNA primers or damage DNA on its path)
