Three Domains of Life
14
Eukarya: all macroscopic organisms, including human beings as well as many microscopic, unicellular organism such as yeast.
The characteristic: a well-defined nucleus within each cell.
15
Unicellular organisms lacking a nucleus are prokaryotes, including
(1)Bacteria and (2) Archaea.

Molecular Organization of Cells
21
Types of molecules in a cellDeoxyribonucleic acids (DNA)Are constructed of four different kinds of monomeric units, the deoxyribonucleotides, G, A, T, C
Ribonucleic acids (RNA)Are constructed of four different kinds of monomeric units, the ribonucleotides, G, A, U, C
ProteinsAre composed of twenty different kinds of monomeric units, the amino acids
Lipids (Fat)Water insoluble molecule containing fatty acids. Used for membrane structure and energy storage
Carbohydrates (sugar)Are constructed of monomeric units called monosaccharides. Also called polysaccharides.

Conclusion:
•(1) Organisms are remarkably uniform at the molecular level.
•This uniformity reveals that all organisms on earth have arisen from a common ancestor.
25
•(2) All are subject to the same laws of physics and chemistry.
•Biochemistry is an intellectually coherent and beautiful discipline because of the underlying unity of life.

1. DNA
(1) Four simple compounds constructed DNA

34
(2) DNA is a linear polymer of 4 kinds of units, each consisting of the same sugar-phosphate unit, but with 4 different bases attached: A, C, G, T.
35
(3) Two strands combine by noncovalent base-pairing of A with T; G with C.
36
• (4) Facts• a. Most DNA molecules consisted of two strands.• b. This strands arranged in a double helix structure.• c. The double helix structure composed of two intertwined strands.• d. In the structure, the sugar-phosphate backbone lies on the outside
and the bases on the inside.• e. Hydrogen bonds formed between the specific base pair is the
major reason of two strands holding together.• f. The hydrogen bonds are weak enough to be reversibly broken in
biochemical process and strong enough to help stabilize the double helix structure.
37
A and T forms two hydrogen bonds.
(5) Two properties
38
G and C forms three hydrogen bonds.
39
• Adenine only binds with Thymine (A-T)
• Guanine only binds with Cytosine (G-C)
• Therefore, One strand determines the other strand. ( Each strand can be used as a template).
40
Same shape and same size, thus fitting neatly within the double helix.
For above reason DNA is used as a hereditary material.
41
RNA( ribonucleic Acid)
Similar to DNA
Linear polymer
Sugar ribose, rather than deoxyribose
Uracil instead of thymine
2. RNA: RNA is an intermediate in the flow of genetic information
42
RNA is templates for protein synthesis
43
3. Proteins:
Protein is the primary functional molecules in the cells.
44
3. Proteins:
Facts:
Proteins: structural components of cell, or enzymesProteins are linear polymers, just like DNA and RNAProteins are more complicated.
45
3. Proteins:
Protein is the primary functional molecules in the cells.
46
3. Proteins:Extremely Important property: •A protein spontaneously folds into a well defined and elaborate three-dimensional structure.•This 3-D structure is dictated entirely by the sequence of amino acids along its chain.
47
3. Proteins:
The self-folding nature of proteins constitutes the transition from the one-dimensional world of sequence information to the three-dimensional world of biological function.
Three bases along a DNA chain encode a single amino acid. (genetic code).

Questions:
1. DNA is made from __4___ building blocks (Bases) . These blocks are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.

56
7. DNA is used as a hereditary material, because:
(1) The base pairs have essentially the same shape and same size, thus fit equally well into the center of the double-helical structure.
(2) The sequence of bases along one strand completely determines the sequence along the other strand.
