DNA (DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID)
• Nucleic acid that composes chromosomes and carries genetic information.
![Page 3: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CHROMOSOME ORGANIZATION
1. A chromosome is an enormous strand of super coiled DNA.
2. Sections of DNA on the chromosome that code for proteins are called genes.
3. Noncoding sections of DNA are called “junk DNA” (regulatory or unknown function)

BUILDING BLOCKS OF DNA
Composed of nucleotides
• Nucleotides contain three parts:
1. 5-Carbon Sugar (deoxyribose)
2. Phosphate Group
3. Nitrogen Base (four types, adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine)
![Page 6: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• Adenine and Guanine are purines (composed of two rings of nitrogen atoms)
![Page 8: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Thymine and Cytosine are pyrimidines (composed of one ring of nitrogen atoms)
![Page 9: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STRUCTURE OF DNA
• Consists of two strands of nucleotides that form a twisted ladder (double helix)
• Sugar and phosphate alternate along the sides of the ladder (linked by strong covalent bonds)
• Pairs of nitrogen bases form the rungs of the ladder (linked by weak hydrogen bonds).
![Page 10: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Specific base pairing arrangement (Chargaff’s Rule)
A-T : 2 hydrogen bonds
C-G : 3 hydrogen bonds
• Nitrogen bases attach to the sugar portion of the side (NOT the phosphate)
• Strands run in opposite directions
![Page 11: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

FUNCTION OF DNA
• DNA codes for proteins (structural proteins, enzymes, and hormones)
• information for building proteins is carried in the sequence of nitrogen bases
• proteins determine physical and metabolic traits and regulate growth and development.

DNA REPLICATION
Process in which DNA is copied
![Page 15: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PURPOSE OF DNA REPLICATION
Gives daughter cells produced by cell division a complete set of genetic information identical to the parent cell.
![Page 16: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHERE REPLICATION OCCURS
Nucleus

WHEN DURING THE CELL CYCLE REPLICATION OCCURS
Interphase (S)
![Page 18: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HOW REPLICATION OCCURS
1. Helicase enzymes unzip the parent strand by separating the nitrogen base pairs.
2. DNA polymerase pairs free DNA nucleotides with the exposed bases on both strands following the base pair rules.
• each strand from the parent molecule serve as a template
![Page 19: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Hydrogen bonds reform spontaneously sealing the two strands of each DNA molecule together.
![Page 20: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RESULTS OF REPLICATION
• Two molecules of DNA that are identical
• Each is half old (strand from parent) and half new (strand synthesized by DNA polymerase)

RNA (RIBONUCLEIC ACID)
Nucleic acid involved in the synthesis of proteins
![Page 23: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RNA STRUCTURE
Composed of nucleotides, but differs from DNA in three ways.
1. Single strand of nucleotides instead of double stranded
2. Has uracil instead of thymine
3. Contains ribose instead of deoxyribose
![Page 24: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
RNA FUNCTION
Three forms of RNA involved in protein synthesis
1. mRNA (messenger): copies instructions in DNA and carries these to the ribosome.
2. tRNA (transfer): carries amino acids to the ribosome.
3. rRNA (ribosomal): composes the ribosome.
![Page 26: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
Cells build proteins following instructions coded in genes (DNA).
• Consists of two parts, transcription and translation
![Page 27: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
TRANSCRIPTION
DNA is copied into a complementary strand of mRNA.
WHY?
• DNA cannot leave the nucleus. Proteins are made in the cytoplasm. mRNA serves as a “messenger” and carries the protein building instructions to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
![Page 28: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

HOW TRANSCRIPTION OCCURS
1. RNA polymerase untwists and unzips a section of DNA (usually a single gene) from a chromosome.
![Page 30: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2. RNA polymerase pairs free RNA nucleotides to the exposed bases of one of the DNA strands following base pair rules.
• Uracil replaces thymine
• Only 1 strand of DNA serves as a template, the other “hangs out”
![Page 31: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. Newly synthesized mRNA separates from template DNA and DNA zips back up.
![Page 32: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

RESULT OF TRANSCRIPTION
mRNA strand with instructions for building a protein that leaves the nucleus and goes to the cytoplasm.

PROTEINS
Structural and functional components of organisms.
• Composed of amino acids
• order of nucleotides in DNA determines order of amino acids in a protein
• One gene codes for one protein
![Page 36: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

GENETIC CODEThe “language” that translates the sequence
of nitrogen bases in DNA (mRNA) into the amino acids of a protein.
• Codon = three nucleotides on DNA or mRNA
• One codon specifies one amino acid• Some codons are redundant (code for the
same amino acid)• The genetic code is universal to all
organisms

TRANSLATION
Instructions in mRNA are used to build a protein
![Page 42: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
LOCATION OF TRANSLATION
ribosome (in the cytoplasm)
![Page 43: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
PROCESS OF TRANSLATION
1. mRNA binds to the ribosome.
2. Ribosome searches for start codon (AUG)
3. tRNA brings correct amino acid (methionine) to the ribosome.
• Each tRNA carries one type of amino acid. • The anticodon (three nitrogen bases on
tRNA) must complement codon for amino acid to be added to protein chain
![Page 44: DNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032607/56812fe8550346895d955ed7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
4. ribosome reads next codon
5. tRNA’s continue lining up amino acids according to codons
6. peptide bonds link amino acids together
7. ribosome reaches STOP codon
• Amino acid chain is released
