A. Nucleic Acids• Macromolecules composed of subunits
called nucleotidespolymers made of monomers
• Nucleotides:“building blocks” for DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) & RNA (ribonucleic acid)
![Page 3: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cont. Nucleotides
• Based on sugar (2 general types of nucleotides)a. Ribotides ribose nucleotidesb. Deoxyribotides deoxyribose nucleotides

D. DNA (Watson-Crick Model); proposed 19531. Genetic material composed of 2 long chains of nucleotides2. A=T ; C=G (*base pairs rule pyrimidine always pairs with purine3. 2 chains run in opposite directions, connected by nitrogen bases to form double helix. 4. Hydrogen bonds between bases
![Page 11: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cont. DNA (Watson-Crick Model)
5. DNA forms genes genetic information that passes from parent to offspring

E. RNA (essential to protein synthesis)1. Contains ribose instead of deoxyribose2. Contains uracil instead of thymine3. Nucleotides in long chains, in single strands unless
RNA is the only nucleic present in the organism4. THREE types of RNA:
a. messenger RNA (mRNA)b. transfer RNA(tRNA) Essential in protein synthesis!c. ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
![Page 13: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RNA vs DNA
![Page 14: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chapter 12: DNA Replication
***RECAP: DNA replication occurs in S phase of cell cycle
A. DNA Structure 1. Double-stranded polymer composed of paired
nucleotides2. Because A combines with T, C with G, SEQUENCE of bases varies to produce different genes3. Once nucleotide sequence is fixed, sequence in other strand is also determined
![Page 15: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
B. DNA Replication (S phase)1. Requires a team of enzymes (DNA
polymerase)2. Steps in replication:
a. One enzyme unwinds portion of DNAb. Another enzyme breaks H-bonds between paired
nucleotides and separates strandsc. New nucleotides are added to each original strand
in proper direction according to original strandd. Phospates of new nucleotides bond to sugarse. New strand attached to original
![Page 16: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DNA Replication

Cont. DNA Replication
3. Semiconservative Replication (validated!) each new DNA molecule contains ½ of original
![Page 18: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cont. DNA Replication
4. Conservative Replication (negated) one DNA molecule = 2 “old” strands one DNA molecule = 2 “new” strands
5. Each new cell formed after M phase (mitosis) in cell cycle contains same set of chromosomes & genes as parent cell (each DNA ½ old, ½ new)
![Page 19: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
C. Replication Forks 1. DNA is a giant molecule!
2. If replication began at one end, process would take TOO LONG!3. Replication forks multiple sites of DNA replication
![Page 20: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cont. Replication Fork4. Replication different along each strand (done by DNA POLYMERASE!)
a. Leading strand synthesis continues in ONE direction • Nucleotides added one at a time- in order
b. Lagging strand short, discontinuous segments of DNA synthesized• Segments then joined by DNA ligases
5. Result: Synthesis of 2 new DNA molecules behind the replication fork as it moves along original DNA molecule

1.Erwin Chargaff- analyzed nuclei of different cell types
*** SIGNIFICANCE: The concentration of specific bases (A & T)/ (C & G) approached a 1:1 ratio (A=T) and (C=G)
Upon analysis of many tissues from many different species, Chargaff concluded that the amounts of A & T and C & G were ALMOST EXACTLY EQUAL!
![Page 23: Chapter 12 Nucleic Acids](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816606550346895dd93785/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cont. Watson-Crick Model
2. Watson and Crick reasoned that these the 1:1 ratio was due to PAIR BONDING between the 2 bases that were equal (A-T) and (C-G)
3. Watson and Crick reasoned that these specific bases would bond
according to SIZE always 1 pyrimidine paired with 1 purine– Size of these base pairings was proven experimentally by the x-ray
diffraction work of Wilkins and Franklin
4. Watson and Crick used the 1:1 ratio of A-T and C-G to propose a mechanism of replication or making an exact copy of itself– Proposed in 1953 that the method of replication of DNA would be
SEMI-CONSERVATIVE– Each new strand molecule retains ½ of the original DNA molecule
