  1. 2. Replication The Molecular Basis of GeneticsChapter 10: DNA Structure and Analysis The flow of information: 1. Storage 3. Expression

  2. DNA as the Genetic Material Historically: *1868 Friedrick Miescher *1910 Phoebus Levene tetranucleotide hypothesis *1927 Frederick Griffith transforming principle *1944 Avery, MacLeod and McCarty *1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase

  3. Evidence for DNA in Eukaryotes: Indirect evidence: *Distribution of DNA *Mutagenesis *RNA – genetic material in some viruses

  4. Nucleotide Structure: Pentose sugar

  5. Nucleotide Structure: Nitrogenous Bases

  6. Structural Analysis of DNA: *nucleoside *nucleotide

  7. Nucleic Acid Polarity *Top of molecule has free 5’-phosphate group This is the 5’ end *Bottom has a free 3’ hydroxyl group This is the 3’ end

  8. Base Composition: *1949-1953 Chargaff’s Rules

  9. Complementarity

  10. DNA Structure: *1953 Watson and Crick *Early 1950’s Rosalind Franklin *Linus Pauling
