Welcome toMolecular Biology Through DiscoveryTuesday, 18 September 2012DNA Structure / Sanger & Tuppy
General Questions What would you like discussed in class, on any subject that has already come up? The mentor list and clarification on who, what, when, etc. Who can we pick, how many can we choose from? What are we turning in exactly on Thursday???

You may: duplicate (Ctrl-d) horizontal flip (Alt-hgoh) vertical flip (Alt-hgov) and/or rotate (Alt-hgor) the nucleotides, but you may not change the relative positions of their atoms.
DNA Directionality & Palindromes SQ10. If one strand of DNA had the sequence 5'-GGACT-3', what would be the sequence of the second strand?
DNA Directionality & Palindromes I understand what a palindrome is in English but when it comes to DNA how come 5'-AGTTGA-3' isn't a palindrome when it's anti-parallel strand is 3'-TCAACT-5' which is also a palindrome.

Sanger and Tuppy (1951) Phe-Val-Asp-Glu-His-Leu-Cys-Gly Thr-Pro-Lys-Ala Gly-Glu-Arg-Gly-Tyr-Leu-Val-Cys-Gly Ser-His-Leu-Val-Glu-Ala
Sanger and Tuppy (1951) Insulin is a dimer, composed of one A chain (fraction A) and a B chain (fraction B). Sanger and Tuppy determined this experimentally by oxidizing insulin with performic acid. The sequence of fraction B was determined experimentally as being at least composed of phenylalanine, valine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid, and well as threonine, proline, lysine, and alanine. This was done using a prepared sample of polypeptide fragments, which were separated through a process known as paper chromatography. A similar process was done for fraction A. From all the studies perform, the overall structure and cross linking between chains can be deduced. Cross-linking can occur on cysteine residues, because they contain sulfur atoms, capable of dimerizing with one another and forming stable covalent bonds. Overall, two phenylalanine and two glcyl chains were determined to be the subunits of this particular form of insulin.
Sanger and Tuppy (1951) Now, how this was deduced was through a number of chromatography tests where different chemicals were used in order to split insulin at different bond points and then examine the fragments. In the first section we can see Phe.Val.Asp.Glu.His.Leu.CySO3H.Gly which has been determined by the following: B4β2, B1α2, B2γ8, B1α1, B1β8, B1γ1, B1α6, B1β13, B1γ4, B1β10, B1α5, B1γ7, B1β12, B4β1, B1γ6, B1β5. Where B1α1 refers to the test number and type, then spot number.
