DOGMA?
This central dogma was develop by Crick.
This was a hypothesis on how the code was
read from DNA then used to make
proteins. Scientists did not like this term
for this hypothesis because it sounds like
a problem!
DOGMA!
Principle, idea, or statement that is
considered to be absolutely true.
Kind of like a theory!!!!! But Crick
called it a DOGMA!!!
DNA ---- RNA ----- Proteins!!!!!!
Central Dogma of Biology
The flow of information in the cell starts at
DNA,
How does DNA determine what
you look like?
What is the purpose for
proteins?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
antibody: fight diseases
Muscle contractions
Enzymes
Hormones
Hair, feathers, beaks, nails, horns, etc.
Egg whites
Transport proteins: blood(hemoglobin)
Protein Structure
• Made up of amino acids
• Polypeptide- string of amino acids
• ONLY 20 amino acids are arranged in
different orders to make a variety of
proteins!!!! Amino acids are in the
cytoplasm.
• Assembled on a ribosome
DNA vs. RNA
• DNA
• Double Helix
• Deoxyribose sugar
• Adenine pairs with
Thymine (A-T)
• Stays in nucleus
• RNA
• Single strand
• Ribose sugar
• Uracil replaces
Thymine!
• Leaves nucleus to
do the work
DNA vs. RNA
DNA
Deoxyribose
Thymine
RNA
Ribsose
Double Strand
Single Strand
Uracil is one of the
bases in RNA.
There is thymine no
thymine. This means
A goes with U and G
still goes with C.
Steps to Protein Synthesis
1. Transcription – process where
DNA message is changed into
mRNA then out of nucleus to the
ribosomes!!!
2. Translation – process when
mRNA is translated into amino
acid chains(protein) on the
ribosomes.
How does a protein get built??
• This is where RNA becomes
involved.
• DNA is too large to get out of the
nuclear membrane pores.
• SO RNA has to be made to go to
the ribosomes!!!
SO, HOW DOES AN AMINO
ACID CHAIN GET BUILT?
RNA stands for ribonucleic acid

•
Three types of RNA:
1. mRNA
• 2. tRNA
“messenger” RNA
• “transfer” RNA
Carries code for
• Attaches specific
proteins from DNA
Amino Acids to the
Carries “codon”
protein chain by
matching the mRNA
codon with the
anticodon.
RNA TRANSCIPTION
There are three (3) types RNA:
1. Messanger RNA – (mRNA) carries messages
from the DNA in the nucleus to the
ribosomes.
tRNA
2. Transfer RNA – (tRNA) 20 different
kinds which are only able to bond with
one (1) specific type of amino acid.
rRNA
3. Ribosomal RNA – (rRNA) major
component (part) of the ribosomes
3. Ribosomal
RNA
rRNA
• Where Protein
synthesis occurs
How Does RNA polymerase(complex)
know where to start and stop?
• Promoter site: starting point on DNA.
Specific base sequences that
represents a gene.
• Termination site: Place where RNA
polymerase stops!!!
• REMEMBER - only a gene is being
read to make mRNA not all of your
DNA.
Step 1:
• RNA polymerase complex attaches to DNA
at special places that serve as the start
signal(promoter sites). Only one gene!!!!!
Step 2:
• DNA splits at site of RNA polymerase.
• RNA polymerase attaches matching bases to
form new RNA strand from DNA template.
• RNA polymerase keeps adding bases
making the RNA strand grow…
Step 3:
• RNA polymerase leaves DNA when reaches
the stop signal.
• RNA strand is released and goes to
cytoplasm.
• DNA rewinds itself into the double helix.
Results of Transcription
• Strand of mRNA made from the DNA
FYI
RNA polymerase doesn’t check for mistakes
in the code. Doesn’t cause mutations
when there is a few mistakes in proteins
unlike replication.
Protein Synthesis:
Transcription
Making mature mRNA
Original mRNA transcribed
is not mature mRNA
Exons:readable segments
Of mRNA that go to the
ribsome
Introns: nonreadable
Segments that must be
removed before leaving
Nucleus.
Exons vs. Introns
Once introns removed, mRNA is ready
to leave the nucleus!!!!

Prokaryotic Protein Synthesis
• All occurs in the cyotplasm!!!
Transcription is done…what
now?
Now we have mature mRNA transcribed
from the cell’s DNA. It is leaving the
nucleus through a nuclear pore. Once in
the cytoplasm, it finds a ribosome so that
translation can begin.
We know how mRNA is made, but how do we
“read” the code?
Translation
Translation is the process of decoding a
mRNA molecule into a polypeptide chain
or protein.
ALWAYS read mRNA!!!!!!
Three RNAs play the key roles!!
RNA TRANSLATION
Protein Synthesis: the formation of a protein using
information coded on DNA and carried out by RNA in
the assembly of amino acids.
Proteins are:
a. Amino acids in chains – 20 kinds
b. Made of 10’s or 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids
c. Must be arranged in a specific sequence for each
type of protein
d. Function & type of protein is determined by amino
acid sequence
e. DNA makes RNA
f. RNA constructs amino acids
mRNA - Codons
• Read 3 bases at a time on the mRNA
called CODONS!!!!
• Each combination of 3 nucleotides
on mRNA is called a codon or threeletter code word.
• Each codon specifies a particular
amino acid that is to be placed in the
polypeptide chain (protein).

Start codons and Stop codons
• For translation to begin, there is a
START codon.
• AUG: is the 3 letter codon that
starts the process.
• UAA, UGA, UAG: Stop codons.
Start Codon
• Start codon: codon AUG also serves
as the “initiator” codon, which starts
the synthesis of a protein.
Stop Codon
• STOP codon: Codon that signal the
end of the protein. (UAA, UAG, &
UGA
• Besides selecting the amino acid
methionine, the codon AUG also
serves as the “initiator” codon,
which starts the synthesis of a protein
Protein Synthesis: Translation
•A three-letter code is used because there
are 20 different amino acids that are
used to make proteins.
•If a two-letter code were used there
would not be enough codons to select all
20 amino acids.
•That is, there are 4 bases in RNA, so 42
(4x 4)=16; where as 43 (4x4x4)=64.
Translation
•Therefore, there is a total of 64 codons
with mRNA, 61specify a particular
amino acid.
• This means there are more than one
codon for each of the 20 amino acids.
Protein Synthesis: Translation
Protein Synthesis: Translation
Transfer RNA (tRNA)
•Each tRNA molecule has 2 important
sites of attachment.
•One site, called the anticodon, binds to
the codon on the mRNA molecule.
•The other site attaches to a particular
amino acid.
•During protein synthesis, the anticodon of
a tRNA molecule base pairs with the
appropriate mRNA codon.
tRNA
• Transfer RNA
• Bound to one amino
acid on one end
• Anticodon on the
other end
complements mRNA
codon
• If they do not match
then the tRNA is
rejected!!!!

tRNA parts
Parts of a Ribosomes - rRNA
Ribosomes are composed of 2 subunits
separate in cytoplasm
– Large
– Small
• Contain 3 binding sites – helps tRNA align
to codon.
–E
–P
–A
Steps of Translation
• 1. INITIATION:
A.The initiator(start) codon AUG binds
to the first anticodon of tRNA,
signaling the start of a protein.
B. Two parts of the ribosome join
around the tRNA and mRNA.
• The amino acid methionine, the
codon AUG also serves as the
“initiator” codon, which starts the
synthesis of a protein at site P.
Translation
• 2. ELONGATION: The anticodon of
another tRNA binds to the next
mRNA codon at site A, bringing the
2nd amino acid to be placed in the
protein. This will continue until stop
codon.
• As each anticodon & codon bind
together a peptide bond forms
between the two amino acids.
Synthesis:
Translation
•3. Protein
Termination:
The protein
chain
continues to grow until a stop codon
reaches the ribosome, which results
in the release of the new protein and
mRNA, completing the process of
translation. The amino acids are
bonded with a peptide bond to form a
protein.
•Release factor causes the release of
tRNA and mRNA.

Pigment is produced in the petal cells of the plant as the
result of a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction takes
place in the cytoplasm of a cell in which a colorless
molecule is changed to a different molecule that now
absorbs light and reflects red light without assistance.
This reaction would take place very slowly and not much
pigment would be produced during the life of the plant. As
with almost all chemical reactions inside cells, this
reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme which speeds up the
rate of the reaction hundreds of thousands of times. In the
presence of the enzyme, enough pigment is produced to
quickly turn the cells and petals of the flower red. Without
the enzyme, the cells would essentially stay colorless.
With the enzyme, the plant flowers can turn red. The red
flower trait is thus the result of the activity of an enzyme.

How Is DNA Responsible for What
you Look Like or How You Feel?
The DNA in each chromosome makes up
many genes (as well as vast stretches of
noncoding DNA(introns), the function of which
is unknown). A gene is any given segment
along the DNA that encodes instructions that
allow a cell to produce a specific product typically, a protein such as an enzyme - that
initiates one specific action. There are
between 50,000 and 100,000 genes. These
PROTEINS determine everything about you.
SO your DNA control this code and what you
look like!!!! It determines the amino acid
codes!!
