History of DNAEarly on, protein thought as the cell’s hereditary material because it was more complex than DNA

Fred Griffith worked with virulent S and nonvirulent R strain Pneumoccocus bacteria.He found that R strain could become virulent when it took in DNA from heat-killed S strainStudy suggested that DNA was probably the genetic material

History of DNAChromosomes are made of both DNA and proteinExperiments on bacteriophage viruses by Hershey & Chase proved that DNA was the cell’s genetic material
Radioactive 32P was injected into bacteria!

Discovery of DNA StructureErwin Chargaff showed the amounts of the four bases on DNA ( A,T,C,G)In a body or somatic cell: A = 30.3% T = 30.3% G = 19.5% C = 19.9%

HelixMost DNA has a right-hand twist with 10 base pairs in a complete turnLeft twisted DNA is called Z-DNA or southpaw DNAHot spots occur where right and left twisted DNA meet producing mutations

The structure of DNA and RNA
Genetic material of living organisms is either DNA or RNA.
DNA – Deoxyribonucleic acidRNA – Ribonucleic acid
Genes are lengths of DNA that code for particular proteins.

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function
DNA and RNA are polynucleotidesBoth DNA and RNA are polynucleotides.They are made up of smaller molecules called nucleotides.
DNA is made of two polynucleotide strands:
RNA is made of a single polynucleotide strand:

2.A Phosphate group
Phosphate groups are important because they link the sugar on one nucleotide onto the phosphate of the next nucleotide to make a polynucleotide.

Nucleotides are connected to each other via the phosphate on one nucleotide and the sugar on the next nucleotideA Polynucleotide

AS Biology. Gnetic control of protein structure and function
Nitrogenous bases – Two types
PyrimidinesHave single ring
Thymine - TCytosine -
CUracil - U
PurinesHave double
rings of Carbon and Nitrogen
atom
Adenine - AGuanine -
GBase-Pairings: Purines only pair with Pyrimidines

Base pairingSides made of a pentose sugar deoxyribose bonded to phosphate (PO4) groups by phosphodiester bondsCenter made of nitrogen bases bonded together by weak hydrogen bonds
Adenine links with Thymine or Uracil by 2 hydrogen bonds
Cytosine links with Guanine by 3 hydrogen bonds

Again:
Adenine always base pairs with Thymine (or Uracil if RNA)
Cytosine always base pairs with Guanine.
This is because there is exactly enough room for one purine and one pyrimidine base between the two polynucleotide strands of DNA.

Nature of the Genetic Material
1. It must contain, in a stable form, information encoding the organism’s structure, function, development and reproduction2. It must replicate accurately so progeny cells have the same genetic makeup3. It must be capable of some variation (mutation) to permit evolution
