Griffith and Transformation
Griffith and Transformation
In 1928, British scientist Fredrick Griffith was
trying to learn how certain types of bacteria caused
pneumonia.
He isolated two different strains of pneumonia
bacteria from mice and grew them in his lab.

Griffith and Transformation
Griffith made two observations:
(1) The disease-causing strain of bacteria grew
into smooth colonies on culture plates.
(2) The harmless strain grew into colonies with
rough edges.

Griffith's Experiments
Griffith set up four
individual experiments.
Experiment 1: Mice
were injected with the
disease-causing strain
of bacteria. The mice
developed pneumonia
and died.

Experiment 3: Griffith
heated the diseasecausing bacteria. He then
injected the heat-killed
bacteria into the mice.
The mice survived.

bacteria and injected the

Griffith concluded that

harmless strain.

Griffith and Transformation
Transformation
Griffith called this process transformation
because one strain of bacteria (the harmless strain)
had changed permanently into another (the
disease-causing strain).
Griffith hypothesized that a factor must contain
information that could change harmless bacteria
into disease-causing ones.

Avery and DNA
Avery and DNA
Oswald Avery repeated Griffith’s work to determine
which molecule was most important for
transformation.
Avery and his colleagues made an extract from the
heat-killed bacteria that they treated with enzymes.

Avery and DNA
The enzymes destroyed proteins, lipids,
carbohydrates, and other molecules, including the
nucleic acid RNA.
Transformation still occurred.

Avery and DNA
Avery and other scientists repeated the experiment
using enzymes that would break down DNA.
When DNA was destroyed, transformation did not
occur. Therefore, they concluded that DNA was the
transforming factor.

Avery and DNA
Avery and other scientists discovered
that the nucleic acid DNA stores and
transmits the genetic information from
one generation of an organism to the
next.

The Hershey-Chase Experiment
The Hershey-Chase Experiment
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase studied
viruses—nonliving particles smaller than a cell that
can infect living organisms.

Bacteriophages
A virus that infects bacteria is known as a
bacteriophage.
Bacteriophages are composed of a DNA or RNA
core and a protein coat.

They grew viruses in cultures containing
radioactive isotopes of phosphorus-32 (32P) and
sulfur-35 (35S).

If 35S was found in the bacteria, it would mean that
the viruses’ protein had been injected into the
bacteria.

The Hershey-Chase Experiment
Nearly all the radioactivity in the bacteria
was from phosphorus (32P).
Hershey and Chase concluded that the
genetic material of the bacteriophage
was DNA, not protein.

The Components and Structure of DNA
The Components and Structure of DNA
DNA is made up of nucleotides.
A nucleotide is a monomer of nucleic acids made
up of:
•Deoxyribose – 5-carbon Sugar
•Phosphate Group
•Nitrogenous Base

Chargaff's Rules
Erwin Chargaff discovered that:
• The percentages of guanine [G] and cytosine
[C] bases are almost equal in any sample of
DNA.
• The percentages of adenine [A] and thymine
[T] bases are almost equal in any sample of
DNA.

X-Ray Evidence
Rosalind Franklin used X-ray
diffraction to get information
about the structure of DNA.
She aimed an X-ray beam at
concentrated DNA samples
and recorded the scattering
pattern of the X-rays on film.

The Components and Structure of DNA
The Double Helix
Using clues from Franklin’s pattern, James
Watson and Francis Crick built a model that
explained how DNA carried information and
could be copied.
Watson and Crick's model of DNA was a
double helix, in which two strands were
wound around each other.

The Components and Structure of
DNA
Watson and Crick discovered that hydrogen bonds
can form only between certain base pairs—adenine
and thymine, and guanine and cytosine.
This principle is called base pairing.
