Functions of DNA
• Control the processes of heredity by which cells and organisms reproduce proteins
![Page 4: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of Nucleic Acids
1. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): double-stranded
2. RNA (ribonucleic acid): single-stranded
![Page 5: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Nucleic Acid Structure
• The monomer units of DNA are known as nucleotides
• All nucleotides have three “parts” in common: a. Phosphate “backbone”b. Pentose sugar (ribose or deoxyribose)c. Nitrogen base
![Page 6: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Deoxyribose Sugar (DNA)
• Has 5 carbons and 3 oxygens• Carbon atoms are numbered 1', 2', 3', 4',
and 5' – Distinguishes from the numbering of the
atoms of the purine and pyrmidine rings• 5'-carbons link to the phosphate groups• 3'-carbons link to the hydroxyl groups
![Page 7: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand: the strands are antiparallel.
• Asymmetric ends of DNA strands are called the 5′ (five prime) and 3′ (three prime) ends– 5' end having a terminal phosphate group– 3' end having a terminal hydroxyl group
![Page 8: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nitrogen Bases• Weak hydrogen bonds connect
complementary nitrogen bases• Two types:
a. Pyrimidines: form hexagon shaped rings1. Cytosine2. Thymine (only DNA)3. Uracil (only RNA)
![Page 9: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
b. Purines: combination of a pentagon shaped ring and a hexagon shaped ring
1. Adenine2. Guanine
![Page 10: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nitrogen Base Pairing
• Adenine and Thymine must form two hydrogen bonds to be stable while Guanine and Cytosine must form three– Makes the base pairing system an extremely
simple: the A-T and C-G pairs are the only ones physically possible
![Page 11: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Let’s Practice How to Form DNA!
![Page 12: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We will use our hands to represent a nucleotide.
SUGAR
PHOSPHATE NITROGEN BASE
![Page 13: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The four different Nitrogen Bases for DNA are abbreviated using the following letters….
Adenine
Thymine
Guanine
Cytosine
A
T
G
C
![Page 14: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using your two hands, please show how you think two nucleotides will/should bond together.
Did you put your hands like this???
![Page 15: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Time to find out why this is wrong!!!
![Page 16: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Adenine and Guanine are larger molecules known as…
PURINES
LOOK! TWO RINGS!!!
![Page 17: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THYMINE and CYTOSINE are smaller molecules known as…
PYRIMIDINES
LOOK! Only one ring!!
![Page 18: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Now, when using our hands to represent the nucleotides, we must modify the nitrogen base in order to represent these PURINES and PYRIMIDINES.
How would you represent a large PURINE?
How would you represent a small PYRIMIDINE?
Full Finger
Half Finger
![Page 19: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In DNA, a PURINE always bonds with a PYRIMIDINE when forming a “rung” of the DNA ladder.
LOOK! A long finger pairs with a short finger! In other words, a purine pairs with a pyrimidine.
![Page 20: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In DNA, Adenine always pairs with Thymine using two hydrogen
bonds.
A T
![Page 21: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In DNA GUANINE always pairs with CYTOSINE using three hydrogen bonds.
G C
![Page 22: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Time to use your brain and hands in order to review nucleotide structure and type.
USING YOUR HAND, SHOW ME THYMINE
USING YOUR HAND SHOW ME ADENINE
SHOW ME CYTOSINE
SHOW ME HOW CYTOSINE AND THYMINE BOND TO FORM A RUNG ON THE LADDER
THEY DON’T
![Page 23: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
OK
Now that you recognize nucleotide type and structure, it’s time to start building the polymer
from these monomers.
![Page 24: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The molecules marked “W” are best described as:

Reactions A and B are respectively
known as:

![Page 26: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

![Page 27: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If molecule “W” is a nucleotide, molecule marked “Y” is most likely:
1. Protein2. Starch3. DNA4. Galactose5. Fructose
![Page 28: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
In order to make a molecule of DNA, you would need to create many rungs to the DNA ladder.
Look. Many Rungs.
Etc…
![Page 29: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What part of the nucleotide alternates to form the sides of the DNA ladder?
Etc…
Sugar, Phosphate.
Sugar, Phosphate.
Sugar, Phosphate.
Etc…
![Page 30: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What makes up the “RUNGS” of the ladder?
The Nitrogen Bases
![Page 31: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Go Ahead!Stack you hand on top of your partners hands building two rungs of the DNA ladder.
![Page 32: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why is this WRONG????
![Page 33: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The sides of the DNA ladder “run” in opposite directions. One side is actually flipped and the nucleotides are upside down!
![Page 34: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TRY IT!!!
![Page 35: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Because the sides of the DNA “run” in opposite directions, DNA is said to be ANTIPARALLEL.
![Page 36: NUCLEIC ACIDS](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816354550346895dd3fb5f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In this DNA molecule, the THUMB part or better known as the PHOSPHATE GROUP, is said to be the 5 prime (5’) end.
5 prime
5 prime

The “hand” or sugar part of the DNA molecule makes up the 3 prime (3’) end of the DNA ladder.
3 Prime
3 Prime

If you link enough nucleotides together, the DNA molecule begins to take on the characteristic shape known as the
Double Helix
