Information Transfer in Cells
• Information encoded in a DNA molecule is transcribed via synthesis of an RNA molecule
• The sequence of the RNA molecule is "read" and is translated into the sequence of amino acids in a protein

12NucleosidesLinkage of a base to a sugar • Base is linked via a glycosidic
bond • The carbon of the glycosidic
bond is anomeric • Named by adding -idine to the
root name of a pyrimidine or -osine to the root name of a purine
• Conformation can be syn or anti
• Sugars make nucleosides Sugars make nucleosides more water-solublemore water-soluble than free than free basesbases

Forces stabilizing nucleic acid structures
A) Denaturation & renaturation
Very viscous
Less viscous
This process is very important for the technique of PCR
![Page 29: Biochemistry Genetic Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070508/577c85221a28abe054bbd5d0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29Denaturation of DNA can be monitored by UV-VIS
• When DNA is heated to 80+ degrees Celsius, its UV absorbance increases
• This hyperchromic shift reflects the unwinding of the DNA double helix
• Stacked base pairs in native DNA absorb less light
• Loss of electronic interactions among nearby bases increases absorbance
Aromatic bases absorb light
About 40% increase in Abs.

46Application: BIOTECHNOLOGYBiotechnology has been called the last great technological revolution of
the 20th Century, comparable in effect to the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution....It has been stated that the 21st Century will be the “Biotech Century”, with major applications in medicine, agriculture, and
the environment (for example, bioremediation).
What is Biotechnology? Some Definitions....
• INFORMAL: You know, genetic engineering....like in Jurassic Park....
• HISTORICAL: Karl Ereky (1917): All lines of work by which products are produced from raw materials with the aid of living things.
• GENERAL/SOCIAL: The use of living organisms or their products to enhance human health and the environment.
• INDUSTRY: The study of the industrial production of goods and services by processes using biological organisms/systems.
• BUSINESS: The creation and use of living cells for commercial purposes; the “commercialization” of cell biology

55Restriction Endonucleases
Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cleave the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA.
In most practical settings, a given enzyme cuts both strands of duplex DNA within a stretch of just a few bases.
Several thousand different restriction endonucleases have been isolated, which collectively exhibit a few hundred different sequence (substrate) specificities.
A large majority of restriction enzymes have been isolated from bacteria, where they appear to serve a host-defense role.

anneal at ~ 50ºC
ii. anneal primers
primers bind by complementary base pairing

extend at 72ºC
iii. extend with DNA polymerase
iv. repeat steps 1-3, ~ 35 times (35 cycles)
