History of DNA

• Early 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

TransformationTransformation• In 1928, Fred 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

History of DNA• Chromosomes are made of both DNA and protein

• Experiments on bacteriophage viruses by Hershey & Chase in 1952 proved that DNA was the cell’s genetic material

Radioactive 32P was injected into bacteria!

DNA StructureDNA Structure• In 1950’s, Rosalind Franklin took x-ray diffraction photographs of DNA crystals

showed: 1) helicalstructure2) moleculesspaced at regularintervals

• In 1953, Watson & Crick built the first model of DNA using Franklin’s

work as a foundation

Nitrogenous BasesNitrogenous Bases

• Erwin Chargraff 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%

Chargaff’s Rule:Chargaff’s Rule:• AdenineAdenine must pair with ThymineThymine

• GuanineGuanine must pair with CytosineCytosine

• The bases form weak hydrogen bonds

Question:Question:

•If there is 30% AdenineAdenine, how much CytosineCytosine is present?

Page 20: DNA. History of DNA Early scientists thought protein was the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA Proteins were composed of

Answer:Answer:•There would be 20% CytosineCytosine

• Adenine (30%) = Adenine (30%) = Thymine (30%)Thymine (30%)

• Guanine (20%) = Guanine (20%) = Cytosine (20%)Cytosine (20%)

• Therefore, Therefore, 60% A-T 60% A-T and 40% C-Gand 40% C-G

Significance of DNA

Page 22: DNA. History of DNA Early scientists thought protein was the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA Proteins were composed of

• DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints it contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms

i.e. it contains the instructions to construct components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules.

Page 23: DNA. History of DNA Early scientists thought protein was the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA Proteins were composed of

• DNA segments that carry genetic information are called genes

• Genes code for proteins

• proteins, which include enzymes, do specialized jobs, & control the activities of each cell

Page 24: DNA. History of DNA Early scientists thought protein was the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA Proteins were composed of

Different cells have different activities. By controlling protein synthesis within each cell, the genes that make up DNA control the life of the entire organism.

Thus, sequence of DNA bases ultimately determines how the information in genes is read

Interesting Facts• Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

form, there must be RNA RNA primersprimers 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
