DNA• Deoxyribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid
(which is made up of nucleotides=sugar, phosphate and base)
• Made up of two strands that pair together by something called the complimentary rule
• DNA has specific pairing between the nitrogen bases:• ADENINE – THYMINE• CYTOSINE – GUANINE

DNA Replication• DNA MUST be copied!!• DNA produces two identical new
complementary strands following the base pairing rules (A-T, G-C)
• Each original strand of DNA serves as a template for each new strand

Replication Step #1
• DNA Polymerase
comes on the scene• UNWINDS the DNA
upstream• UNZIPS the DNA• This site is known
as the replication bubble
![Page 7: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Replication Step #2
• Complementary Bases begin
adding into both sides of the DNA• A binds with T, C binds with G (no
other possibility because of the shape of the bases!)
• The DNA Polymerase precedes the paired bases and clips out any that are already added ahead of it
![Page 8: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Replication Step #3
• Finally you have 2 identical copies of DNA
• The final job of the Polymerase is to Proofread the nucleotides after they are added and to clip out any that are incorrectly paired

The Code
• DNA molecules carry the code for all the genes of an organism
• Genes are pieces of the DNA molecule that code for specific proteins
• The process of making genes into proteins is called protein synthesis-which occurs OUTSIDE of the nucleus on the ribosome
![Page 10: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Steps of Protein Synthesis
• The DNA code of the gene segment must be copied in the nucleus of the cell
• The code must be carried from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and then to the ribosome
• The protein is then assembled from the code and released • These steps are carried about by RNA (Ribonucleic
acid)
![Page 11: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Carrying the Code Out
• RNA is a molecule that is used to translate the code from a DNA molecule into a protein
• It is very similar to DNA except: it is single stranded, it’s sugar is ribose and instead of thymine as a base, it uses Uracil (so A pairs with U in RNA only!)
• There are three types of RNA: messenger, ribosomal and transfer (ALL are involved in protein synthesis)
![Page 13: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transcription
• Step one of protein synthesis is the manufacturing of messenger RNA (mRNA)
• This making of the mRNA is called transcription• Transcription begins when a region of the DNA
unwinds and separates (this separated segment is a gene)
• This unwound segment serves as a template for the soon to be mRNA strand
![Page 14: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

mRNA
• The mRNA strand is assembled from individual RNA nucleotides that are present in the nucleus
• RNA polymerase (an enzyme) picks up these nucleotides and matches them to their DNA complement from the template that has just been unzipped
• At this point, the mRNA separates and leaves the nucleus-moving into the cytoplasm and settling on a ribosome-this is where translation begins
![Page 16: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Translation
• Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)• On these ribosomes mRNA is decoded (translated)
and a corresponding polypeptide (amino acids) is formed
• When we “decode” a chain of nucleotides we “read” it in a three base code called a codon• For example: our mRNA sequence could be
AUGACAGAUUAG• The corresponding codon would be AUG ACA GAU UAG
![Page 17: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Codons
• The three nucleotide codon has the specific function of corresponding to a particular amino acid
• How does this work?• The mRNA is bound to the surface of the ribosome at
the first nucleotide segment (called a start codon)• The cytoplasm in which the rest floats contains amino
acids and a third kind of RNA, transfer RNA (tRNA)
![Page 19: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
tRNA
• This molecule contains a three part nucleotide segment called an anticodon (this is the exact match of one mRNA codon)
• The anticodon corresponds exactly to one of the 20 kinds of amino acids
• Once the tRNA binds the amino acid it travels to the ribosome surface and there the three tRNA bases pair with their three complementary mRNA bases
![Page 20: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: DNA & Protein Synthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681626a550346895dd2dbc2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Finishing Up Translation
• The amino acid that is bound to the tRNA is then added to the growing polypeptide chain at the surface of the ribosome
• The ribosome facilitates this process by moving along the mRNA chain until it reaches a stop codon (a three nucleotide segment that tells the ribosome that the translation is complete)
• The ribosome then releases the newly-formed polypeptide chain which moves out into the cell as a fully functioning protein
