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:

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)


Nitrogenous base

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

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).

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.

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

Proofreading enzymes

Other enzymes
“proofread” the
replicated strand
looking for errors
(mutations).
 Incorrect
nucleotides are
removed and
replaced
