Central Dogma of Biology• DNA is found in chromosomes.
– eukaryotic cells, chromosomes always remain in the nucleus
– proteins are made at ribosomes in the cell
• How do the instructions in DNA get to the site of protein synthesis outside the nucleus? – Another type of nucleic acid is responsible.– RNA, or ribonucleic acid – RNA is a small molecule that can squeeze
through pores in the nuclear membrane

• RNA carries the information from DNA in the nucleus to a ribosome in the cell and then helps assemble the protein
• Central dogma of molecular biology– DNA → RNA → Protein– the phase itself was coined by Francis Crick

RNA and Protein Synthesis
Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins within the cell.
RNA molecules then carry out processes of making proteins.

Structure of RNA• Backbone => 5-C sugar and phosphate
group– DNA deoxyribose– RNA ribose
• Single- stranded– DNA double-stranded
• 4 Nitrogenous bases– Adenine– Uracil– Cytosine– Guanine

Types of RNA• 3 main types of RNA
– messenger RNA (mRNA)• Carry copies of instructions for assembling amino
acids into proteins
![Page 8: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
– ribosomal RNA (rRNA)• Proteins are assembled on ribosomes
![Page 9: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
– transfer RNA (tRNA) • Transfers each amino acid to the ribosomes as
specified by the coded message of mRNA
![Page 10: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Recall replication makes a
complementary copy of the
entire DNA molecules before
cells reproduce or divide
![Page 11: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• RNA molecules are complementary copies of part of a nucleotide sequence in DNA that are made through the process of transcription– RNA polymerase
catalyzes
transcription
Transcription
![Page 12: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• RNA polymerase binds
to DNA at very specific
sites known as promoters– promoters have specific
base sequences to start
and stop transcription
![Page 13: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RNA Editing• Compiles the final mRNA molecule after
many eukaryotic genes are transcribed– Introns pieces that are removed
• Removed while RNA molecule still in nucleus
– Exons remaining portions • Spliced back together to form final mRNA
![Page 14: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Genetic Code
• Proteins made by joining amino acids into long chains called polypeptides.
![Page 15: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reading the Genetic Code• ‘Language’ of mRNA is the GENETIC
CODE– RNA 4 different nitrogenous bases:
• A, U, C, G
• Genetic Code is read 3 letters at a time– Each ‘word’ is 3 bases long
• Each 3 letter ‘word’ in mRNA is known as a codon
![Page 16: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Examples of Genetic code
• RNA sequence– UCGCAGGGU
• Read 3 bases at a time– UCG- CAG- GGU
UCG = Serine
GGU = Glycine
CAG = Glutamine

Translation• Ribosomes read mRNA and put together
polypeptides decoding= translation
![Page 18: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Recap of Transcription/ Translation

The Roles of RNA and DNA
• DNA “ master plan”– Remains in nucleus
• RNA “blueprints”– Goes to protein-building sites in cytoplasm
• ribosomes
![Page 20: From DNA to Proteins](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56813a73550346895da26c06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Genes and Proteins• Most genes contain only instructions for
assembling proteins– Genes that code for enzymes can produce
pigments for eye color, etc.– Other enzyme-coding genes produce your red
blood cell surface antigen thus determining your blood type
– Genes can also regulate rate of growth
• Many proteins are enzymes, which catalyze and regulate chemical reactions – Proteins are the key to almost everything
living cells can do
