Lipids glycerol, fatty acid fat, oil
Protein amino acid protein
Nucleic Acid nucleotide DNA, RNA
B. Protein
A sequence of amino acids held together
by peptide bonds
There are 20 different types of amino acids
and the different arrangements of bonding
determines the protein
B1. Structure
1.Primary Structure
Sequence of amino acids = chain
2. Secondary Structure
Folds & bends due to amino acid interactions
3. Tertiary Structure
3-D shape (usually functional enzyme)
4. Quaternary Structure
More than one chain of amino acids
c. Nitrogen Base

Purines Adenine (A) Adenine (A)
(2 rings) Guanine (G) Guanine (G)
Pyrimidine Thymine (T) Uracil (U)
(1 ring) Cytosine (C) Cytosine (C)
D. Definitions
1.DNA – A double-helix molecule made of
DNA nucleotides.
2. Gene – A segment of the DNA molecule
that codes for a specific trait.
3. Chromosome – A structure made up of
either 1 or 2 DNA molecules (each
is a double helix)
1 DOUBLE HELIX 2 DOUBLE HELIX
II. DNA Structure
A.Nucleotides
Monomer (4 different types)
Bacteria has millions
Plants/animals has billions
B. Double Helix Polymer
1.Backbone
The of one nucleotide (5’) binds with deoxyribose sugar of another nucleotide (3’).
2. N-Bases – N base of one nucleotide H bonds to another N base on a separate nucleotide
DOUBLE HELIX
III. DNA ReplicationCopy the DNA strand (Genetic info) so thatwhen a cell divides (mitosis, meiosis) they get an exact copy.

1. 2 Enzymes bond = 1 to each strand
2. Each enzyme reads the original 3’ to 5’
3. Each enzyme makes new DNA 5’ to 3’
4. Pairs free DNA nucleotides with parent strand
5. Bonds P to sugar to form backbone of new strand

Centromere – specific sequence of DNA that joins two DNA molecules together.
DNA Polymerase proofreads as goes along (only 1 mistake/10, 000 pairs but enzymes find and repair the mistakes).
I. Central DogmaOne gene one protein (really = polypeptide)
General:
1. A functional protein may be > 1 chain
2. Not all proteins are enzymes
3. 1 gene = 100’s-1000’s of nucleotides
4. 1000’s genes per chromosome

B. Cytoplasm – the mRNA leaves the nucleus
by pores & goes to ribosome in the cytoplasm
rRNA –
makes up part of the ribosome
TRANSLATIONtRNA -
carries specific amino acids Amino Acid
Converts the information from
mRNA into a protein
primary structure of a protein
secondary structure of a protein
tertiary structure of a protein
B. RNA types
1.mRNA (messenger RNA)
Copy (where U replaces T) of DNA template gene (carries DNA code to the ribosme).
Enzyme reads the DNA 3’ to 5’ but lays the new nucleotides down 5’ to 3’ = makes mRNA 5’ to 3’
mRNA (messenger RNA)start stop
5’ A U G G A U G C C U A G 3’
CODON (corresponds to one amino acid)
Start codon Stop codon
AUG UAG
UGA
UAA
2. rRNA = Ribosomal RNA
Make ribosomes by combining two subunits (small and large)
Where protein synthesis occurs.
Ribosome structure (two subunits)
small subunit
large subunit 1st binding site 2nd binding site
catalytic site
3. tRNA = Transfer RNA
Brings amino acids to mRNA/rRNA
Anticodon = three consecutive nucleotides
on tRNA and pair to the codon on mRNA
Codon = AUG
Anticodon = UAC
Amino Acid = Met = methionine
TRANSCRIPTION
1. Where Occurs nucleus
2. General DNA mRNA
Only one side of DNA Helix is copied into mRNA (not always the same side for different genes).
3. Parts of Transcription
INITIATION
a. RNA Polymerase binds to a promotor
(TATA*****), which tells the enzyme that the
gene starts on the complimentary strand of
the DNA Helix.
CONTINUE INITIATION
b. RNA Polymerase reads the template 3’ to 5’
but bonds new nucleotides for mRNA 5’ to 3’

ELONGATION
a. RNA Polymerase unwinds DNA Helix
b. RNA Polymerase moves along the DNA Helix
and reads the template 3’ to 5’
c. RNA Polymerase adds (bonds together) free
RNA nucleotides 5’ to 3’
d. Continues until enzyme reaches stop on DNA

The RNA Polymerase (blue) is reading the DNA gene (bottom black) from 3’ to 5’ but adding new nucleotides (RNA) from 5’ to 3’. As it does this it is producing the mRNA (RED) 5’ to 3’.

5. Termination
a. Once the RNA Polymerase reaches this
point it detaches from the DNA (which
reforms the double helix). What is formed is
called a transcription unit.
b. RNA SPLICING
1.Need to remove introns
2.Need to bond together exons
3.Need to add cap and tail
4.Then have mRNA
