Chargaff’s Rule
• DNA from any cell of all organisms should
have a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine
bases i.e amount of guanine is equal to
cytosine and amount of adenine is equal to
thymine

How does the base pairing happen?
Base pairing is
complementary
![Page 16: NUCLEIC ACIDS - Mrs. Murchison's 8th Grade Science and ... · NUCLEIC ACIDS STRUCTURE Mahalakshmi Panchavati, Ph.D Presentedtostudentsof QVMS GT ACADEMY 5-October-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e7261605738204d636cd011/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Antiparallel Orientation of the 2
strands
• A sequence ofone strand ofDNA is given as:
• 5’TGCA 3’.
• Thecomplementarysequence is:
• 3’ACGT 5’
• DNA sequence:
• 5’TGCA 3’.
• 3’ACGT 5’
![Page 17: NUCLEIC ACIDS - Mrs. Murchison's 8th Grade Science and ... · NUCLEIC ACIDS STRUCTURE Mahalakshmi Panchavati, Ph.D Presentedtostudentsof QVMS GT ACADEMY 5-October-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e7261605738204d636cd011/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why is DNA double stranded?
• The role of DNA?
• The Blueprint of life
• Carries all genetic informationnecessary for life.
• How is this information stored?
• In the sequence of bases
• Double strandedness protects the bases from enzymatic and chemical damage
• Double strandedness ensures that thereis always a correct copy to compare ifmistakes do happen

![Page 19: NUCLEIC ACIDS - Mrs. Murchison's 8th Grade Science and ... · NUCLEIC ACIDS STRUCTURE Mahalakshmi Panchavati, Ph.D Presentedtostudentsof QVMS GT ACADEMY 5-October-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e7261605738204d636cd011/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Does DNA have a higher order
structure?
• Prokaryotes:Bacterial genome size: 139 kbp to 13,000 kbp ~ avg of 1.3µ
• Size of bacteria: >1µm to several µm
• Average length of a human DNA: 2.0 × 1013 meters
• That is the equivalent of nearly 70 trips from the earth tothe sun and back.
• On the average, a single human chromosome consists ofDNA Molecule that is almost 5 centimeters.
• Size of a human cell: 10-100µm
• Size of the nucleus: average diameter ~ 6 µm
![Page 20: NUCLEIC ACIDS - Mrs. Murchison's 8th Grade Science and ... · NUCLEIC ACIDS STRUCTURE Mahalakshmi Panchavati, Ph.D Presentedtostudentsof QVMS GT ACADEMY 5-October-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e7261605738204d636cd011/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DNA has to be packaged into the
cell.
How does this happen?
• Prokaryotes:
• have circular DNA
• Use HU protein which
is Histone like protein
• Packaged into
supercoiled structures

How does RNA help the reading of
the code?
• Messenger RNA or
mRNA takes the
message of the code
from the nucleus to the
cytoplasm.
• The process by which
it transcribes this code
is transcription

DNA REPLICATION
• Watson and Crick suggested a model of DNA
replication that was proved later by Messelson and
Stahl.
• This is the Semi-Conservative Replication of
DNA.
• New DNA strands are synthesized using the
parent strand as template and because of base pair
complementarity, the progeny DNA molecule has
1 parent strand and 1 new strand.

DNA Replication
• The first objective wouldbe to “unpackage” andunwind the DNA.
• Replication starts at a point called the “origin”
• Enzymes called Helicasesunwind and unzip theDNA.
• Single strand bindingproteins keep the strandssingle. Replication Fork
