DNA and DNA and ReplicationReplication

2

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


3

Discovery of DNA Discovery of DNA StructureStructure

• Erwin Chargaff 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%


4

Chargaff’s RuleChargaff’s Rule• AdenineAdenine must pair with

ThymineThymine• GuanineGuanine must pair with

CytosineCytosine• The bases form weak

hydrogen bonds

DNA StructureDNA Structure•Rosalind Franklin took

diffraction x-ray photographs of DNA crystals

• In the 1950’s, Watson & Crick built the first model of DNA using Franklin’s x-rays

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


20

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

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication• Enzyme Enzyme HelicaseHelicase unwinds unwinds

and separates the 2 DNA and separates the 2 DNA strands by breaking the strands by breaking the weak hydrogen bondsweak hydrogen bonds

• Single-Strand Binding Single-Strand Binding ProteinsProteins attach and keep the 2 DNA strands separated and untwisted


26

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication• BeforeBefore new DNA strands can

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

DNA Damage & DNA Damage & RepairRepair

• Chemicals & ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA in our body cells

• Cells must continuously repair DAMAGED DNA

• Excision repair occurs when any of over 50 repair enzymes remove damaged parts of DNA

• DNA polymerase and DNA ligase replace and bond the new nucleotides together
