G-C Content
• A=T, G=C, but AT≠GC
• Generally GC~50%, but extremely variable
• EX.• Slime mold~22%
• Mycobacterium~73%
• Distribution of GC is not uniform in genomes
![Page 26: Biomolecules - WordPress.com · welcome merit life sciences e-tutorial neet/net jrf csir exam /jam/dbt dr sheelendra ph.d. from bhu 3-time net-csir-jrf qualified gate 98 author of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042204/5ea607410082c65b94542464/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CONSEQUENCES OF GC CONTENT
• GC slightly denser • Higher GC DNA moves further in a gradient
• Higher # of base pairs=more stable DNA, i.e. the strands don’t separate as easily.

DNA is Dynamic
• Like proteins, DNA has 3º structure
• Why so many deviations from normal conformation? • Effects on transcription (gene expression)
• Enhances responsiveness
• May also serve in packaging
• NOTE: most cellular DNA exists as protein containing supercoils

Denaturation of DNA• Denaturation by heating.
• How observed?• A260
• For dsDNA,
A260=1.0 for 50 µg/ml
• For ssDNA and RNA A260=1.0 for 38 µg/ml
• For ss oligos
A260=1.0 for 33 µg/ml
• Hyperchromic shift
The T at which ½ the DNA sample is denatured is called the melting temperature (Tm)

SEQUENCING
• Purpose—determine nucleotide sequence of DNA
• Two main methods• Maxam & Gilbert, using chemical sequencing
• Sanger, using dideoxynucleotides
![Page 47: Biomolecules - WordPress.com · welcome merit life sciences e-tutorial neet/net jrf csir exam /jam/dbt dr sheelendra ph.d. from bhu 3-time net-csir-jrf qualified gate 98 author of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042204/5ea607410082c65b94542464/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Sanger Technique• Uses
dideoxynucleotides (dideoxyadenine, dideoxyguanine, etc)
• These are molecules that resemble normal nucleotides but lack the normal -OH group.
![Page 48: Biomolecules - WordPress.com · welcome merit life sciences e-tutorial neet/net jrf csir exam /jam/dbt dr sheelendra ph.d. from bhu 3-time net-csir-jrf qualified gate 98 author of](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042204/5ea607410082c65b94542464/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Because they lack the -OH (which allows nucleotides to join a growing DNA strand), replication stops.
Normally, this would
be where another
phosphate
Is attached, but with no -
OH
group, a bond can not form

The Sanger Method Requires
• Multiple copies of single stranded template DNA
• A suitable primer (a small piece of DNA that can pair with the template DNA to act as a starting point for replication)
• DNA polymerase (an enzyme that copies DNA, adding new nucleotides to the 3’ end of the template
• A ‘pool’ of normal nucleotides
• A small proportion of dideoxynucleotideslabeled in some way ( radioactively or with fluorescent dyes)

• The template DNA pieces are replicated, incorporating normal nucleotides, but occasionally and at random dideoxy (DD) nucleotides are taken up.
• This stops replication on that piece of DNA
• The result is a mix of DNA lengths, each ending with a particular labeled DDnucleotide.
• Because the different lengths ‘travel’ at different rates during electrophoresis, their order can be determined.
