The Road to the Double Helix
4
History leading to establishing DNA as the genetic material
Friedrich Miescher 1871 - Swiss physician and biochemist- Isolated white blood cell nuclei from pus
o Acid substance with nitrogen and phosphoruso ldquoNucleinrdquo later changed into nucleic acid
5
History of DNAArchibald Garrod 1902- English physician
- Linked inheritance of ldquoinborn
errors of metabolismrdquo with the
lack of a particular enzyme for
breakdown of 2 amino acid
- First described the disease
alkaptonuria black urine
bone and cartilage and
osteoarthritis
6
History of DNAFrederick Griffith 1928
- English microbiologist
- Established the concept of transformation
a change in genotype (genetic makeup) by a foreign substance that changes the phenotype (observed properties or trait)
7
Frederick Griffith
Worked with Diplococcus pneumonia which exists in two typeso Type S (Smooth) = Produces capsule
o Type R (Rough) = No capsule
o Capsule associated with virulence (causing disease)

bull Viruses can infect E coli bacteria
bull A virus in not a cell it has protein ldquoheadrdquo and DNA core
bull Can replicate only using host living cells as host
bull DNA is the genetic material of these viruses

Discovering the Structure of DNAPhoebus Levine
- Russian-American biochemist
- Identified the 5-carbon sugars ribose in 1909 and deoxyribose in 1929
- Discovered that the three parts of a nucleotide are found in equal proportions
- Sugar- Phosphate- Nitrogen Base
13
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist
- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships
- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G
14
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo
15
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Franklin reasoned that the DNA is a helix with symmetrically organized subunits
Figure 94
16
Discovering the Structure of DNAJames Watson and Francis Crick- Did not perform any experiments
- Used results of others and cardboard cutouts to build a model of the structure of DNA

DNA Structure
A single building block is a nucleotide
Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types
A Our cells have a limited life span ( of cell divisions)
40
Telomerase- an enzyme (riboprotein) that extends the 3rsquo end of the DNA strand by adding a repeated sequence of 6-nucleotides typically TTAGGG (100-1000 times)

Ends of linear chromosomes have special DNA sequences and are known as telomeres
added by an enzyme known as telomerase after DNA replication is completed

Worked with Diplococcus pneumonia which exists in two typeso Type S (Smooth) = Produces capsule
o Type R (Rough) = No capsule
o Capsule associated with virulence (causing disease)

Discovering the Structure of DNAPhoebus Levine
- Russian-American biochemist
- Identified the 5-carbon sugars ribose in 1909 and deoxyribose in 1929
- Discovered that the three parts of a nucleotide are found in equal proportions
- Sugar- Phosphate- Nitrogen Base
13
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Erwin Chargaff 1951- Austrian-American biochemist
- Analyzed base composition of DNA from various species and observed regular relationships
- Adenine + Guanine = Thymine + Cytosine- A = T and C = G
14
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 1952- English scientists- Used a technique called X-ray diffraction- It took Franklin 100 hours to obtain ldquophoto 51rdquo
15
Discovering the Structure of DNA
Franklin reasoned that the DNA is a helix with symmetrically organized subunits

DNA Structure
A single building block is a nucleotide
Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types
A Our cells have a limited life span ( of cell divisions)

Discovering the Structure of DNAJames Watson and Francis Crick- Did not perform any experiments
- Used results of others and cardboard cutouts to build a model of the structure of DNA

DNA Structure
A single building block is a nucleotide
Each nucleotide is composed of- A deoxyribose sugar- A phosphate group- A nitrogenous base one of four types
A Our cells have a limited life span ( of cell divisions)
40
Telomerase- an enzyme (riboprotein) that extends the 3rsquo end of the DNA strand by adding a repeated sequence of 6-nucleotides typically TTAGGG (100-1000 times)

Ends of linear chromosomes have special DNA sequences and are known as telomeres
added by an enzyme known as telomerase after DNA replication is completed

Life span of dividing cellsbull Telomerase is active in sperm eggs stem cells (bone
marrow) and cancer cells but not in somatic tissuesbull Most cells lose 50-200 endmost bases after each cell
divisionbull After about 50 divisions shortened telomeres signal the
cell to stop dividing

DNA Structure
Nucleotides join via a bond between the 5rsquo-phosphate of one and the 3rsquo hydroxyl of another- This creates a continuous sugar-phosphate backbone

Polarity and anti-parallel nature of the two DNA strands (5rsquo and 3rsquo ends)

Two polynucleotide chains align forming a double helix- The opposing orientation (head-to-toe) is called antiparallelism
Figure 99

One strand of the double-helix runs in a 5rsquo to 3rsquo direction and the other strand runs in a 3rsquoto 5rsquo direction

DNA StructureThe key to the constant width of the double helix is the
specific pairing of its complementary bases via hydrogen bonds

DNA is Highly Condensed
The DNA coils around proteins called histones forming a bead-on-a-string-like structure
The bead part is called the nucleosomeThe nucleosome in turn winds tighter forming
chromatinChromatin fibers attach in loops to scaffold proteins

Molecular Definition of a Gene
A gene is a segment of DNA that directs the formation of RNA to produce protein
The protein (or functional RNA) creates the phenotype
Information is conveyed by the sequence of the nucleotides

DNA ReplicationAt first researchers suggested that DNA
might replicate in any of 3 possible ways
Model of DNA Replication

- Grew E coli on media containing 15N for several generations
DNA with 15N is heavy- Moved bacteria to media containing 14N- Then traced replicating DNA - Determined that DNA replication is semi-conservative

Q Why are we mortal with a limited life span
A Our cells have a limited life span ( of cell divisions)
40
Telomerase- an enzyme (riboprotein) that extends the 3rsquo end of the DNA strand by adding a repeated sequence of 6-nucleotides typically TTAGGG (100-1000 times)

41
Ends of linear chromosomes have special DNA sequences and are known as telomeres
added by an enzyme known as telomerase after DNA replication is completed

Life span of dividing cellsbull Telomerase is active in sperm eggs stem cells (bone
marrow) and cancer cells but not in somatic tissuesbull Most cells lose 50-200 endmost bases after each cell
divisionbull After about 50 divisions shortened telomeres signal the
cell to stop dividing
