History of DNAEarly scientists thought protein was the

cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA

Proteins were composed of 20 different amino acids in long polypeptide chains

3

TransformationTransformationFred Griffith worked with virulent S

and nonvirulent R strain Pneumoccocus bacteria

He found that R strain could become virulent when it took in DNA from heat-killed S strain

Study suggested that DNA was probably the genetic material

History of DNAChromosomes are made

of both DNA and proteinExperiments on

bacteriophage viruses by Hershey & Chase proved that DNA was the cell’s genetic material

Radioactive 32P was injected into bacteria!

Discovery of DNA Discovery of DNA StructureStructure

Erwin Chargaff showed the amounts of the four bases on DNA ( A,T,C,G)

In a body or somatic cell: A = 30.3% T = 30.3% G = 19.5% C = 19.9%

In the 1950’s, Watson & Crick built the first model of DNA using Franklin’s x-rays

Replication FactsReplication FactsDNA has to be copied DNA has to be copied before a cell dividesbefore a cell divides

DNA is copied during DNA is copied during the the SS or synthesis phase or synthesis phase of of interphaseinterphase

Single-Strand Binding Single-Strand Binding ProteinsProteins attach and keep the 2 DNA strands separated and untwisted

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication BeforeBefore new DNA strands can

form, there must be RNA primersRNA primers present to start the addition of new nucleotides

PrimasePrimase is the enzyme that synthesizes the RNA Primer

DNA polymerase can then add the new nucleotides

Semiconservative Model of Semiconservative Model of ReplicationReplication

Idea presented by Idea presented by Watson & CrickWatson & CrickTheThe two strands of the parental

molecule separate, and each acts as a template for a new complementary strand

New DNA consists of 1 PARENTAL (original) and 1 NEW strand of DNA

DNA Damage & DNA Damage & RepairRepair

Chemicals & ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA in our body cells

Cells must continuously repair DAMAGED DNA

Excision repair occurs when any of over 50 repair enzymes remove damaged parts of DNA

DNA polymerase and DNA ligase replace and bond the new nucleotides together

Question:Question:

What would be the complementary DNA strand for the following DNA sequence?

DNA 5’-CGTATG-3’DNA 5’-CGTATG-3’
