Lecture 10: Nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) Types of nucleic acids There are two types of nucleic acids: 1) Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA): is the genetic material المادة الوراثيةin most organisms (humans, animals, bacteria, plants, and some viruses). 2) Ribonucleic acid (RNA): in some viruses, RNA serves as the genetic material. Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information المعلومات الوراثية Organisms inherit ترثDNA from their parents. Each DNA molecule is very long and usually consists of hundreds to thousands of genes. A gene is a small region in the DNA. When a cell divides تنقسم, its DNA is copied and passed to the next generation of cells. The Watson-Crick model • The structure of DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953. They found the DNA is double helix حلزون مزدوجwith the sugar-phosphate backbones on the outside and the bases on the inside. The basic structure of nucleic acids Nucleic acids (polymers) are made of تتكون منnucleotides (monomers) Each nucleotide consists of three components: 1) a phosphate group (PO4) مجموعة فوسفات 2) a sugar. 3) a nitrogen base قاعدة نيتروجينية The sugars in DNA and RNA differ at a single position. In the DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose, which contains a hydrogen (H) at the second (2') carbon. The sugar in RNA is ribose, which contains a hydroxyl (OH) group at the 2' carbon. The carbons of the sugars are numbered 1 to 5. Nitrogen bases in DNA and RNA DNA and RNA both have four nitrogen bases (rings of carbon and nitrogen), two purines and two pyrimidines in their nucleotide chains. DNA has the purine adenine (A) and guanine (G) and the pyrimidines cytosine (C) and thymine (T). RNA has the purine adenine (A) and guanine (G) and the pyrimidines cytosine (C) and uracil (U). DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bounds between the basses. Two hydrogen bonds connect adenine and thymine and three connect cytosine and guanine. A nucleotide is formed in the cell when a base attaches to the 1' carbon of the sugar and a phosphate attaches to the 5' carbon of the same sugar .

RNA is found in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and ribosome Types of RNA 1) Messenger RNA (mRNA): Molecule in cells that carries the DNA sequence information from the nucleus to the ribosomes. 2) Transfer RNA (tRNA): Molecule in cells that brings the amino acids and transport them to the ribosome for making protein. 3) Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): The structural and functional part of the ribosome. Genes are normally hundreds to thousands of nucleotides long.
