Nucleic Acids

  1. Transcription

    • Unwind gene length
      • H bonds break
        • Free RNA nucleotides to leading strands complementary base pairings
          • mRNA leaves
            • DNA recoils
  2. Translation

    • mRNA attaches to ribosome
      • Triplet code, 3 bases per amino acid
        • Coden on mRNA = 3 bases
          • tRNA brings amino acid, anti-codon base pairs to codon
  3. Replication

    • Semi conservative
      • N15 grow organisms
        • Grow in N14 for 1
          • Take sample and centrifuge
            • Repeat
    • Unwind (helicase)
      • Free DNA nucleotides complementary base pair
        • DNA polymerase sugar phosphate (covalent phosphodiester) - condensation reaction
  4. Subunit for DNA and RNA

    • DNA
      • Double helix
      • Deoxyribose sugars
      • Sugar-phosphate backbone
      • Nitrogenous bases
        • Purines
          • Adenine
          • Guanine
        • Pyrimidines
          • Thymine
          • Cytosine
      • Antiparallel strands
      • Hydrogen bonding
      • Complimentary base
        • A=T
        • C=G
    • RNA
      • Single strand
      • Ribose sugar
      • Uracil replaces thymine
      • Less stable
      • Usually found in cytoplasm
