MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
The term molecular biology is somewhat a misnomer, butcommonly used in science. All aspects of biology can be
studied at the molecular level, the term molecular biology is
usually restricted to mean the biology of molecules related to
genes and gene products and heredity.

Studying«..
«at the molecular level
«using quite different sources
«employing really cool technologies «understanding the what, why, and how
«integrating findings into products
«it¶s actually molecule level genetics
«generally, life today is dependent uponthe findings and advancements thereof

Molecular basis of heredity«genes
Basic unit
Responsible for a single inherited propertyor characteristic of the organism
Most properties due to combined actionsof multiple genes
Made of DNA
Is a polymer of linear arrangements of nucleotides
Ranges: bacteria, animal cells«..

DNA structure
Composed of nucleotides
Each consists of 3 components: a phosphate,deoxyribose, and base
Bases: Adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C)
A + G = purines and T + C = pyrimidines
Nucleotides are linked via the phosphate on the 5¶ end of the deoxyribose of one to the 3¶position of the next
Forms a spiral or helical structure, right-handed doublehelix arrangement

Human DNA
The DNA found in each human cell is
almost 2 meters long. If all the DNA in a
human adult (that¶s 100 trillion cells) were
laid end to end, the DNA would stretch
113 billion miles. That would take you to
the sun and back 610 times.

Changes or mutations
As scientists learn to read the instructions in our genes, they are discovering that much of our DNA is riddled with errors.
Fortunately, most of these errors are harmless. Considering the difficulties involved²the 6 feet of DNA in a human cell consists of 6 billion subunits, or base pairs, coiled and tightly packed into 23pairs of chromosomes, all of which must be duplicated every time a cell divides²our general stateof health is something of a miracle.
We each inherit hundreds of genetic mutations from our parents, as they did from their forebears.In addition, the DNA in our own cells undergoes an estimated 30 new mutations during our lifetime, either through mistakes during DNA copying or cell division or, more often, because of damage from the environment.
Bits of our DNA may be deleted, inserted, broken, or substituted. Most mutations affect only theparts of DNA that do not contain instructions for making a gene, so we need not worry about them.Problems arise only when an error in certain protein occurs.
To stay alive and functioning , the human body requires a daily crop of billions of fresh proteinmolecules²about 40 ,000 different kinds of proteins that must be supplied in the right quantities, at the right times, and in the right places. We need hemoglobin to carry oxygen through thebloodstream, antibodies to fight foreign substances, hormones to deal with stress,
neurotransmitters to evoke movements, emotions, and thought, and many other proteins to givestructure to organs or speed up chemical reactions.
Much of the recent progress in reading DNA has come from analyses of genetic errors. From: Maya Pines

DNA packaging(eukaryotes)
Cell nucleus is ~5um diameter
DNA sizes from millions to billions of bases«wide range,long, huge task
~500X more DNA than bacterial cells
Folding starts around highly positive charged proteins,histones, which neutralize the negative chare of the DNA
The combination is referred to as chromatin
200 bp around 9 histones = a nucleosome
Chromosome folding: DNA double helix to beads, to
fibers, to super-coiled fibers, to chromosomes Result, the appearance of bands ~1,000,000 per
chromosome

DNA supercoiling (eukaryote vs prokaryote)
More DNA found as chromosomes in the
nucleus
10-20 X more genes but most DNA (up to95%) not for coding
Human diploid cell has 5.6 X 10+9 bp in
46 chromosomes

DNA structure, cont.
Base pairing occurs A to T and C to G
Hydrogen bonding between the bases, 2 in AT and 3 in CG , holds the two chainstogether
Knowing a base on one strand you thenknow it¶s opposite on the other strand or
complementary base pairing -A-A-T-G-G-C-C-T-A- ³known´ sequence
-T-T-A-C-C-G-G-A-T- ³complementary´

Chromosomes
Genes are linearly located on the chromosomes
DNA segmented into genes, regulatory regions, and intergenic regions
Bacterial chromosome is a single circular molecule with 2,000-4,000 genes and very shortintergenic regions
Animal chromosomes are linear with 10,000 to50,000 genes and multiple; humans - 2 duplicate
sets of 23 different, or 46 total Locations: prokaryotes-cytoplasm; eukaryotes-
nucleus
