TRANSCRIPT
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
4
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

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

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’
