Overwiev • Cells • Molecules of live • Genes and genome • Proteomics • On some concepts of signal processing in life science
1. Cells • procaryotic /eucariotic • nucleus (chro-mosomes) / cytoplasma (i.e. mitochon- dria, ribosomes) • Cell cycle
2. Molecules of live • Small molecules • nucleotides (i.e. DNA bases A, C, G and T) • 20 different amino acids as the building blocks for proteins, • i.e.
Proteins • main building blocks and functional molecules of the cell • 20% of cell weight (water: 70%) • four levels of structure • 3 – 10 nm
DNA • main information carrier molecule in a cell • polynucleotide, i.e. consists of several nucleotides A, G, C and T • simplest case: single stranded; directed chain of 4 different small molecules called nucleotides, i.e. A → G → T → C → C → A → A → G → C → G → A → A → T → G • Complementary strand: mutually exchange A with T and C with G and change direction; for our example: T ← C ← A ← G ← G ← T ← T ← C ← G ← C ← T ← T ← A ← C • Complementary nucleotides bind weakly → longer compl. strands tend to stick together A-G-T-C-C-A-A-G-C-G-A-A-T-G-C | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | T-C-A-G-G-T-T-C-G-C-T-T-A-C-G
RNA • similar to DNA, but single stranded • functionally different types: mRNA, rRNA, tRNA
3. Genes and genomes Genome:an organism‘s complete set of DNA
Genes and protein synthesis • Gene: continuous stretch of DNA, from which a • particular type of proteins can be made • Proteine syntesis 1. Transcription
2. Splicing pre-mRNA
3. Translation Result: Preprotein
Genetics vs. Genomics Genetics: Study of single genes and their effects Genomics: study not just of single genes, but of the functions and interactions Qualitative shift in medical applications: concept of one desease↔ concept of information (Genetics) (Genomics)
4. Proteomics One genome - different proteomes! Proteome: Constellation of all proteines in a cell
Just one special tool: 2D-Gelelektrophorese I.e. analysis of proteine pattern for brain tissue More proteine GFAP is produced in case of Alzheimer
