Deoxyribonucleic acid

Genetic material

Largely found in chromosomes

Located in the nucleus of a cell

Double helix Ladder structure:

supports are composed of sugar and phosphate molecules; rungs are complementary bases

Two strands that spiral each other

Each strand is a polynucleotide because it is composed of a series of nucleotides

Nucleotide –molecule composed of three subunits: phosphate, deoxyribose, nitrogen-containing base

Nitrogen containing bases: A, C, G, T

Each new cell gets an exact copy of DNA

process of copying a DNA helix

Double-stranded structure of DNA› each original strand

serves as template for formation of complementary strand

Semiconservative › each new DNA strand

has original strand and new strand

Mutation: permanent change in the sequence of bases

Messenger RNA› mRNA› Carries genetic information from DNA to the

ribosomes in the cytoplasm to make proteins Ribosomal RNA

› rRNA› forms the subunits of ribosomes› Makes proteins for cell

Transfer RNA› Transfers amino acids to the ribosomes; amino acids

are joined and forms a protein› 20 types of amino acids, so 20 tRNAs functioning in

the cell› Each tRNA carries only 1 type of amino acid

Proteins made of subunits called amino acids

20 different amino acids commonly found in

proteins

Proteins differ based on the number and order

of their amino acids

Some proteins are structural proteins and others are enzymes

Fun Fact:

The protein hemoglobin is responsible for blood’s red color

Page 16: 21.1 - DNA and RNA Structure and Functionusers.manchester.edu/Student/SJHofer/ProfWeb/human...tRNA-polypeptide is at the P site and a tRNA-amino acid is at the A site. The polypeptide

1st step is transcription

› Strand of mRNA forms that’s complementary to

a portion of DNA. The molecule that forms is a

transcript of a gene. The mRNA strand then

goes to the ribosome for protein production

2nd step is translation

› Translation means to put information into a

different language

› Protein synthesis requires translation

› In this case a sequence of nucleotides is

translated into a sequence of amino acids

4 bases› A,C,U,G

These 4 code for 20 amino acids

Triplet code

Each 3 letter unit of an mRNA molecule is called a codon

61 triplet correspond to a particular amino acid. The remaining 3 are stop codons

Methionine is also a start codon

Most amino acids have more than one codon

DNA serves as a template for the production of an RNA molecule

All classes of RNA are formed by transcription

› Focus on transcription to form mRNA

Go from RNA to Protein3 steps:

1. 1. Initiation: mRNA binds to the ribosome

2. 2. Elongation: polypeptide lengthens tRNA picks up an amino acid

tRNA has an anticodon that is complementary to the codon on the mRNA

tRNA anticodon binds to the codon and drops off an amino acid to the growing polypeptide

3. 3. Termination: a stop codon on the mRNA causes the ribosome to fall off the mRNA

Page 22: 21.1 - DNA and RNA Structure and Functionusers.manchester.edu/Student/SJHofer/ProfWeb/human...tRNA-polypeptide is at the P site and a tRNA-amino acid is at the A site. The polypeptide
