  3. Genetics in ~1920: Chromosomes are made of: DNA Protein Which one is the genetic material?

  4. DNA: consists of nucleotides 5’ 4’ 1’ 3’ 2’ The structure of a nucleotide

  5. DNA: consists of nucleotides (4 types) 5’ 4’ 1’ Pyrimidines 3’ 2’ The structure of a nucleotide Purines

  6. Nitrogenous bases Sugar–phosphate backbone 5 end DNA is a polymer -Nucleotides are joined together by linking 5’ and 3’ carbons of sugar groups to phosphate groups - A chain of nucleotides has a 5’ end and a 3’ end Thymine (T) Adenine (A) Cytosine (C) DNA nucleotide Phosphate Sugar (deoxyribose) 3 end Guanine (G)

  7. Protein: Consists of amino acids Carboxyl group Amino group

  8. Nonpolar Protein: Consists of amino acids (20 different types) Glycine (Gly or G) Valine (Val or V) Leucine (Leu or L) Isoleucine (Ile or I) Alanine (Ala or A) Trypotphan (Trp or W) Methionine (Met or M) Phenylalanine (Phe or F) Proline (Pro or P) Polar Glutamine (Gln or Q) Serine (Ser or S) Threonine (Thr or T) Cysteine (Cys or C) Tyrosine (Tyr or Y) Asparagine (Asn or N) Electrically charged Acidic Basic Carboxyl group Amino group Glutamic acid (Glu or E) Histidine (His or H) Aspartic acid (Asp or D) Lysine (Lys or K) Arginine (Arg or R)

  19. 1953: The double helix Watson and Crick Rosalind Franklin

  20. Watson and Crick- 1953

  21. Key aspects of the Watson-Crick model 5 end - The 2 strands are in shape of a double helix -10.5 base pairs per turn of the helix Hydrogen bond 3 end 1 nm 3.4 nm 3 end 0.34 nm 5 end (a) Key features of DNA structure (b) Partial chemical structure

  22. Nitrogenous bases Sugar–phosphate backbone 5 end Data used to deduce double helix: • Chemical structure of DNA polymer • Chargaff’s rules • Franklin’s X-ray diffraction data Thymine (T) Adenine (A) Cytosine (C) DNA nucleotide Phosphate Sugar (deoxyribose) 3 end Guanine (G)

  23. (b) Franklin’s X-ray diffraction photograph of DNA • This told them: • 2 anti-parallel DNA strands • Helical shape • Width, period of helix

  24. Key aspects of the Watson-Crick model 5 end -2 anti-parallel strands of DNA -Sugar-phosphate backbone on outside, bases on inside -Bases form pairs through hydrogen bonding 3 end Hydrogen bond 1 nm 3.4 nm 3 end 0.34 nm 5 end (a) Key features of DNA structure (b) Partial chemical structure

  25. Purine Pyrimidine Base pairing Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G)

  26. Why A and C can’t base pair:

  27. Purine + purine: too wide Fig. 16-UN1 Pyrimidine + pyrimidine: too narrow Purine + pyrimidine: width consistent with X-ray data

  28. Watson and Crick- 1953 “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.”

  32. EXPERIMENT Bacteria cultured in medium containing 15N Bacteria transferred to medium containing 14N 2 1 Fig. 16-11a RESULTS DNA sample centrifuged after 20 min (after first application) DNA sample centrifuged after 20 min (after second replication) Less dense 3 4 More dense
