DNA History Structure Replication History of DNA Scientists thought protein was the heredity material Several Scientists disproved this and proved it was DNA: Griffith Worked with virulent S and nonvirulent R strain of pneumococcus bacteria Made the harmless R strain transform into S strain when it took in DNA from the killed S strain. Hershey & Chase Worked with radioactively traced bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria). Further proof that DNA was the cell’s genetic material. Radioactive 32P was injected into bacteria! Chargaff Developed the base pairing rule by comparing the amounts of A, T, C, G in the cell. Nucleotide pairing: Nucleotide Bases in Somatic Cells % Present 35.00% 30.3 30.3 30.00% 25.00% 19.5 19.9 20.00% A T 15.00% G – Adenine Thymine 10.00% C – Guanine Cytosine 5.00% 0.00% Franklin Took x-ray photographs of DNA Determined double-helix structure Watson & Crick Watson and Crick used Franklin’s x-rays, Chargraff’s rule and developed their model of the DNA molecule (for which they won a Nobel Prize). Structure of DNA Shape of DNA Double stranded, twisted helix, called a double helix Shape similar to a twisted ladder Nucleotide Monomers DNA Nucleotide is the basic unit (monomer) Made of: Sugar – Deoxyribose Phosphate group (PO4) Base – A T C G (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine) DNA Nucleotide (glue picture provided in NB) Phosphate Group O O=P-O O 5 CH2 O N C1 C4 Sugar (deoxyribose) C3 C2 Nitrogenous base (A, G, C, or T) Polymer Structure Sides made of phosphate group and deoxyribose sugar Center (rungs) made of nitrogen bases bonded by hydrogen bonds (A = T and C = G) Direction of Nucleotides Each carbon in the sugar is given a number 1’ – 5’ Sides are antiparallel – one side goes 5’ to 3’ and the other 3’ to 5’ This determines the direction that it is “read” by enzymes DNA Structure (glue picture provided in NB) 5 P O 3 3 5 O 5 O C G 1 4 P 5 P 2 3 O T 3 2 1 4 5 O A 3 O 3 P 5 P P Location of DNA DNA is a large (macro) molecule, and stays in the nucleus DNA Replication S Phase of Cell Cycle DNA must be copied before the cell can divide Occurs during the synthesis (S) part of cell cycle (before mitosis). S phase G1 interphase Mitosis -prophase -metaphase -anaphase -telophase G2 Helicase enzyme DNA unwinds and unzips with help of DNA helicases These enzymes break the hydrogen bonds between base pairs. This point is called the replication fork. 5’ Parental DNA Molecule 3’ 3’ Replication Fork 5’ Polymerase Enzyme DNA polymerase moves in new nucleotides Can only add to 3’ end of nucleotide Follows the base-pairing rule Two identical DNA strands are formed 5’ Nucleotide DNA Polymerase Direction of Replication RNA Primer 3’ 5’ Proofreading enzymes Other enzymes “proofread” the replicated strand looking for errors (mutations). Incorrect nucleotides are removed and replaced
