Macromolecules Macromolecules

– “giant molecules”– Formed when monomers join together to form

polymers• Monomer = molecules, sm. Unit that can join to form

polymers• Polymer = multiple monomers (large molecules)

– There are 4 types of macromolecules• Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids (we will be

talking about these today), and proteins

Monomers vs. Polymers

Think of monomers like blocks. Each monomer is one block.– How many monomers

are in this picture?

A polymer is what

you build from those monomers.

They are linked together by bonds.

Nucleic Acids

Contain H, O, N, C, and P Polymers made from monomers known as

nucleotides Consist of: a nitrogenous base ( there are 4),

a phosphate group, and a 5-carbon sugar (ribose and deoxyribose)

Nucleotides join by covalent bonds (sharing of e-) to form a nucleic acid

These nucleotides form to create DNA or RNA

Nucleic Acids are complex macromolecules composed of nucleotides that store and transmit genetic information.

Searching for Genetic Material Mendel: modes of heredity in pea plants Morgan: genes located on chromosomes Griffith: bacterial work; transformation: change in genotype

and phenotype due to assimilation of external substance (DNA) by a cell

Avery: transformation agent was DNA

Searching for Genetic Material

Hershey and Chase√ bacteriophages (phages)

√ DNA, not protein, is the hereditary material √ Expt: sulfur(S) is in protein, phosphorus (P) is in DNA; only P was found in host cell

DNA Structure Chargaff

ratio of nucleotide bases (A=T; C=G)

Watson & Crick (Wilkins, Franklin)

The Double Helix (sometimes called a twisted ladder)

nucleotides: nitrogenous base (thymine, adenine, cytosine, guanine); sugar deoxyribose; phosphate group

Page 9: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

Nucleotides are composed of:1. A sugar 2. A phosphate group3. A nitrogenous base

DNA Structure

Page 12: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

DNA Bonding Purines: ‘A’ & ‘G’ Pyrimidines: ‘C’ & ‘T’

(Chargaff rules) ‘A’ H+ bonds (2) with ‘T’ ‘C’ H+ bonds (3) with

‘G’ Notice the number of H-bonds

between G-C and A-T. What do you think this means?

Page 13: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

DNA Replication Watson & Crick strands are complementary; nucleotides line up

on template according to base pair rules (Watson)

Meselson & Stahl replication is semiconservative; Expt: varying densities of radioactive nitrogen

DNA Replication: a closer look Origin of replication (“bubbles”): beginning of replication Replication fork: ‘Y’-shaped region where new strands of DNA are

elongating Helicase:catalyzes the untwisting of the DNA at the replication fork DNA polymerase:catalyzes the elongation of new DNA

Page 15: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

DNA Replication

Antiparallel nature: • sugar/phosphate backbone runs in opposite directions (Crick); • one strand runs 5’ to 3’, while the other runs 3’ to 5’; • DNA polymerase only adds nucleotides at the free 3’ end, forming new DNA strands in the 5’ to 3’

direction only

Page 16: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

DNA Replication Leading strand:

synthesis toward the replication fork (only in a 5’ to 3’ direction from the 3’ to 5’ master strand)

Lagging strand: synthesis away from the replication fork (Okazaki fragments); joined by DNA ligase (must wait for 3’ end to open; again in a 5’ to 3’ direction)

Initiation: Primer (short RNA sequence~w/primase enzyme), begins the replication process

DNA Repair

Mismatch repair: DNA polymerase

Excision repair:Nuclease

Telomere ends:telomerase

RNA

A messenger between DNA and ribosomes

“Decodes” the genetic message contained in the DNA molecule

Page 20: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

3 Types of RNA:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) - copies information from DNA and carries it to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - makes up the major part of the ribosomes

Transfer RNA (tRNA) - carries amino acids to the ribosomes where the amino acids are joined to form a polypeptide

Page 21: Nucleic Acids Ch 12. Macromolecules n Macromolecules –“giant molecules” –Formed when monomers join together to form polymers Monomer = molecules, sm.

Transcription

Information in a DNA molecule is transferred to an mRNA molecule (DNA RNA).

Guanine pairs with Cytosine Adenine pairs with Uracil Thymine pairs with Adenine

Translation

Decoding mRNA into a chain of amino acids (RNA proteins)

Groups of 3 RNA nucleotides, called codons are “decoded” into amino acids

Mutation

Change in a DNA sequence that affects genetic information

Genetic Mutations

Point Mutations – change involving one or a few nucleotides– Substitution of one base for another– Insertion or deletion of a base

• Frameshift Mutations – shifts the reading of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a mucleotide

Chromosomal Mutationsinvolve a change in the number or structure

Deletion – loss of chromosome Duplication – produce extra copies of

parts Inversions – reverse direction of parts Translocations – part breaks off and

attaches to another part
