DNA is a polymer made up of
individual units called nucleotides

Nucleotide Structure3 components:
– Pentose sugar (ribose in DNA)
– Phosphoric acid– Organic base (always contains nitrogen)
Phosphate

4 Bases• Purines –
– Double ringed structure
• Pyrimidines – – Single ringed structure

Bondings
• The base and sugar join with a:
glycosidic bond
• The phosphate and sugar join with an:
ester bond
Both require a condensation reaction to occur

Compl mentary Base Pairing
*Purines always pair with pyrimidines*
A joins to T (2 hydrogen bonds)C joins to G (3 hydrogen bonds)
Therefore, when discussing the proportions of a particular base, you will always find A=T and C=G
or! A+C = G+T

Strands run anti parallel
![Page 16: Nucleic Acids Polymer Individual unit called a (mono)nucleotide DNA is a type of nucleic acid – deoxyribonucleic acid.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551454d65503462d4e8b52df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Points to remember:• DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
• It is a polymer of mono
• Each nucleotide has three components:• pentose sugar (deoxyribose)• phosphate group• organic base (4 types - purines/pyrimidines)
• 2 condensation reactions occur when the• base and sugar form a glycosidic bond• phosphate and sugar form an ester bond
• Phosphodiester bonds build a sugar phosphaphate backbone on each strand of DNA, with the bases all facing inwards
• The 2 strands of the DNA molecule form anti-parallel to one another; one strand runs 5’ to 3’ and the other strand runs 3’ to 5’
• The strands wind around one another into a double helix (like a twisted ladder)

4 Bases• Purines –
– Double ringed structure
• Pyrimidines – – Single ringed structure

DNA Replication – why?
• DNA carries the genetic code in the order of its bases (more info to come)
• To pass this information on the molecule needs to replicate itself
• DNA replication always occurs just before mitosis. This way the cell can make an exact copy of itself
•When might this occur in the cell?

Key words to look out for:– Replication fork– Template – Complementary base pairing– Leading strand– Lagging strand– Okazaki fragments– Enzymes:
– helicase – dna polymerase– ligase

Summarise into 3 stages
![Page 21: Nucleic Acids Polymer Individual unit called a (mono)nucleotide DNA is a type of nucleic acid – deoxyribonucleic acid.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551454d65503462d4e8b52df/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Semi-conservative Replication
½ of the old strand of DNA is conserved in each new strand and
the 2 new strands are identical
