Class Assignments What By When • W.S. Tuning in to Radioisotopes 3/14/07 • Read 194-200 3/14/07 • W.S. 9.2 3/16/07 • Doublin’ DNA 3/16/07 • Due this class period • Due next class period • Due in the future
Grade Sheet 2A – p. 157 (5 pts.)
Rosalind Franklin • 1951 - X-ray diffraction • Maurice Wilkins • Suggested that DNA was two strands • Tightly coiled helix • Photo 51, flash
Watson and Crick • James Watson (American) and Francis Crick (British) discovered the shape and organization of DNA • Double helix • two strands • sugar/phosphate backbone • nitrogenous bases in middle • Won Nobel Prize for DNA model • with Maurice Wilkins
Replication(PBS) • DNA double helix (like a spiral staircase) is easily replicated (doubled) • Occurs during S phase of cell cycle • 1. Enzyme, DNA helicase, attaches to DNA molecule • Hydrogen bonds between strands break (DNA unzips and unwinds) • Forms replication forks • Areas where the strands separate
Replication (DNAi) • 2. DNA polymerase bonds free nucleotides (floating in nucleus) to exposed nitrogen bases • adenine to thymine & guanine to cytosine • 3. Hydrogen bonds formed between nitrogen bases • Proofreading • DNA polymerase can go back and check for errors • 1 error per 1 billion nucleotides
Lab – Doublin’ DNA • Procedure 1 and 2 – cut out the nucleotides • 3. Use the DNA strand • GTCAACTG • 4. Have work checked after #4 • Pick up your homework W.S. when done.
