• Nucleotides are linked together by 3`,5` phosphodiester bonds
i.e. pentose sugar of one nucleotide is attached by C 3` to the phosphate of the next nucleotide (by an ester bond), & the latter is attached to 5`C of pentose of next nucleotide
Polynucleotide chain polymerization

1) sugar-phosphate linkages form asymmetrical backbone 2) Polarity of chains: 5` end phosphate group & 3` end OH group 3) DNA sequences are written in 5' - 3' direction e.g. GCA 4) polymerization reaction is catalyzed by specific enzymes DNA and RNA polymerases

The body contains trillions of cells
Nucleus (center of cell) contains chromosomes
Chromosomes are threadlike structures composed of DNA molecules + proteins
A gene, a segment of DNA containing the hereditary code

DNA is a long chain of repeating nucleotides
Site: in the nucleus 1% DNA is found in the mitochondria •It forms the main substance of chromosomal material (the chromatin) The chromosomal DNA forms the genes which are the carriers of genetic information

The chromatin
The chromatin is a nucleoprotein made of DNA and basic proteins called histones

DNA primary structure
• A DNA molecule is a polymer of 2 polynucleotides chains
• formed of a large number of deoxyribonucleotides
-The sugar is deoxyribose -The nitrogenous base
is either purine (A & G) or pyrimidine (T & C)

DNA 2ry structure
Watson & Crick model
DNA consists of 2 very long helical, polynucleotide strands twisted around each other forming a right handed double helix (B- form) shaped like a coiled
staircase or ladder
![Page 12: Nucleic Acid Chemistry - Mans · o 2- 10 copies oSmall circular o Double-stranded DNA o 1 % of total cellular DNA o Transmitted by maternal non- mendelian inheritance o Codes for](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050415/5f8b422c615be21e9d210acf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The outside of the ladder is formed by the pentose- phosphate backbones. Purines and pyramidines of each strand are directed inwards toward each other (perpendicular to 2 strands), connected by hydrogen bonds forming the rungs of the ladder& holding the 2 strands together
![Page 13: Nucleic Acid Chemistry - Mans · o 2- 10 copies oSmall circular o Double-stranded DNA o 1 % of total cellular DNA o Transmitted by maternal non- mendelian inheritance o Codes for](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050415/5f8b422c615be21e9d210acf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
base pairing rule - Adenine is joined to
thymine by 2 hydrogen bonds (A=T)
- guanine is joined to cytosine by 3 hydrogen
bonds (GΞC) so, sequence of bases in
one strand determines their sequence in other strand.
So the 2 strands are complementary

The 2 strands of the double helix are antiparallel i.e. they run in the opposite direction: One runs in the 5`to 3`direction The other runs in the 3`to 5` direction

Only 1 of 2 strands of DNA is responsible for synthesis of mRNA. It is known as sense (template, non coding) strand The other strand is known as anti sense (non template, coding) strand as it is similar to mRNA
Template strand

Forms of DNA as regards 3D structure
B-Form DNA predominant form It is a right handed double helix

A-Form more compact than B-form but similar to B-form Z-Form DNA completely different from B-form It is a left handed helix and has a zig-zag appearance
