2.2 DNA replication Teacher notes AQA Biology Antiviral drugs Specification reference 3.1.5.1 3.1.5.2 Learning objectives After completing this worksheet students should be able to: describe and explain the process of DNA replication understand a clinical use for this knowledge understand the importance of molecule shape in the correct operation of cellular processes. Introduction The discovery of the structure of DNA in the 1950s was perhaps one of the landmark advances in biology in the last century. Once the structure had been worked out biologists rapidly began to explain how the molecule acts. Modern medical biologists recognise that a detailed understanding can help in developing effective drug treatments for a variety of diseases related to abnormalities in DNA function. Two common examples include cancer therapies and antiviral drugs. The aim of this task is to show how a knowledge of DNA replication has been helpful in the development of the antiviral drugs used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Teacher notes Students will need to use the student book to recap their knowledge of DNA replication. They will use this knowledge to produce the first task a diagram to explain the replication. The teacher should check the ideas of complementary base pairing, the use of DNA polymerase, semi-conservative methods, DNA template strands, and free nucleotides and their structure. The second task now asks them to apply this knowledge. They need to read the text and study the diagrams of the AZT molecule. They will then need to draw a second diagram which shows AZT being substituted for the thymine base. This should then stop the replication. No real details of the molecule structure or enzyme inhibition are needed. Stretch – students should look up the ideas of competitive inhibition of enzymes and then apply that idea to the action of AZT. They can be told to look that up, and even be told that AZT is an inhibitor. Support – students could draw or build models of the DNA replication, and introduce the drug AZT as an odd shaped molecule.

S phase DNA polymerase free (DNA) nucleotides. Bases combine in complementary base pairing; A with T, C with G The new DNA molecule is made of two strands; one original parent strand, one new strand. AZT has no phosphate group; AZT has substituted the OH (on the sugar) with N3 AZT will combine with adenine; as it is a similar shape to thymine/or complementary shape to adenine. It would be unable to make a sugar phosphate backbone/won’t combine with the phosphate on the neighbouring nucleotide. The virus is unable to make DNA so can’t reproduce. © Oxford University Press 2015 (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) www.oxfordsecondary.co.uk/acknowledgements This resource sheet may have been changed from the original 2
