Nucleotides

DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides



Each nucleotides contains

sugar, phosphate, and base

what forms the backbone for the nucleotides

sugars and phosphate

DNA
Deoxyribose as sugar

Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine as basses


double stranded


in eukaryotes- always with proteins



RNA

Ribose as sugar

Adenine. cytosine, guanine, and uracil as bases


copied from DNA


single or double stranded




DNA History

knew about genetic material but not structure



who work on the figuring our DNA structure

Pauling, Wilkins, Franklin, Watson and Crick


Who figured our about sugar phosphate backbone

Franklin

who figured out how bases paired up

Watson and Crick

DNA srtucture

double helix

rope ladder twisted


each side of the ladder is a long string of sugar/phosphate/nitrogenous bases strung together


The rungs in DNA

one side nitro base with other side nitro base

A with T


G with C


The rungs in RNA

A with U


G with G

Base pairing

during DNA replication, one strand is served as template


new strand is made and end the end : duplication DNA


1/2 old, 1/2 new


Called semiconserative model

DNA replication 1

requires a dozen enzymes of proteins


starts at orgin of replication


copying done by polermerase


3 to 5 inch direction on the DNA strand being copied

DNA replication 2

two halves of DNA copied in a different way


one is discontinues and one ins continous


DNA polymerase on discontinous strand goes to 3-5 makes pieces, than releases, re-binds, repeats

DNA replication steps 1

enzymes breaks bonds between bases




DNA replication steps 2

nucleotides of each side of the ladder are now exposed

DNA replication steps 3

The strand same as templates(both of them)

DNA replication steps 4

DNA polymerase adds them, one by one, to each strand following the rules of base pairing



DNA replication steps 5

Starts at the 3' end of stand(the template )

DNA replication steps 6

Addition moves toward 5' end ( of the template strand)

DNA replication steps 7

When reaches end of template DNA polymerase releases DNA

DNA replication facts

pretty fast


50 nucleotides added per second


error rate: 1 for every billion added


proof reading- DNA polymerase checks for error
