DNA

DNA and RNA collectively called as nucleic acid.

DNA genetic information in all species except some virus.

DNA encode protein and RNA in a cell , RNA crucial role in

transmission of genetic information in all species.
CHEMICAL COMOSITION.

DNA IS COMPLEX POLYMERS 0F MONOMERS called

Deoxyribonucleotides.

DNA- a Polymer of Deoxyribonucleotides.

Four types of Deoxyribonucleotides are found in DNA as shown
2' dAMP- 2' deoxyadenosine monophosphate.
2' d GMP- 2 'deoxyguanosine monophosphate
2' d CMP - cytidine
2' d TMP- thymidine

These deoxyribonucleotide differ in purine or pyrimidine base

attached to deoxyribose by a N-glycosidic linkage.
BASES FOUND IN DNA.

Purine-

Adenine and guanine---Fused ring of

nitrogen and carbon atom.

Pyrimidine-
cytosine and thymine? only a single ring.

DNA contain thymine pyrimidine while RNA contain

Uracil.
Structure of Pyrimidine and Purine.
Components of nucleotides.

Base.(Nitrogen base.)-A, G, C or T.

Sugar.(Pentose sugar)

Phosphate.
NUCLEOTIDE

Basic unit of nucleic acid composed of three component,

These are sugar, phosphate group, and a ring of

carbon and nitrogen atom known as a Base.

NUCLEOSIDE = Base + Sugar

NUCLEOTIDE= Nucleoside + phosphate.

A cyclic five carbon sugar(D- ribose or D 2-

deoxyribose)

A heterocyclic nitrogenous base( Purine or Pyrimidine)

Phosphoric acid or phosphate.

NUCLEOTIDE--- is monomer of DNA.


NUCLEOTIDE STRUCTURE.
PHOSPHATE

Phosphoric acid is-H3PO4.

Contain 3 monovalent hydroxyl group and a

divalent oxygen atom, all linked to the pentavalent
phosphorous atom.
PENTOSE SUGAR

DNA contain--2-deoxy-D - ribose

Pentose sugar has capacity to form ester with

phosphoric acid. OH- group of pentose , especially
3rd and 5th involved forming 3'-5 `? phosphodiester
bond between adjacent pentose residue.
NITROGENOUS BASE

PURINE and PYRIMIDINE.

BASE is linked to the sugar moiety by the same

carbon (c1) used in sugar sugar bond.

PURINE Bases--Adenine and Guanine.

PYRIMIDINE-- Uracil, Thymine and cytosine.
DNA NUCLEOTIDE.


PHOSPHODIESTER LINKAGE.
Watson-Crick Model of DNA Structure.


> Helical structure-Double stranded helix.

Polarity----5' to 3' direction strand or 3' to 5 `direction

strand.

Backbone of the strand up of alternative phosphate

and deoxyribose molecule, and lies exterior while

bases lies inside....

Two strand of DNA are placed antiparallel to each

other.
Right Handed Double Helix -

DNA consists of two

polydeoxyribonucleotide chains twisted around one
another in a right handed double helix similar to a
spiral stair case.
BASE PAIRING RULES.

Always two strand are complementary to each

other.

Adenine of one strand will pair with thymine of

opposite strand, while guanine will pair with
cytosine.

The base pairing (A with T, G with C ) is called

chargaff's rule.

Which states that number of the number of purines is

equal to the number of pyrimidines.
HYDROGEN BONDING.

The DNA strands are held together mainly by

hydrogen bonds between the purine and pyrimidine
bases.

Two hydrogen bond between A and T while there

are three hydrogen bonds between

C and G .

GC bond is stronger than AT bond.
ANTIPARALLEL.

One strand in 5' to 3' direction, while the other is in

the 3' to 5' direction.
OTHER FEATURES.

Denaturation of DNA strands-----

MELTING- Double stranded DNA may be

denatured and separated by heat.

At lower temperature the melted strand are re-

associated, this is called annealing.
Higher organisation of DNA

NUCLEOSOMES--

Double stranded DNA is wound

round histones to form nucleosomes.

CHROMATIN--Long stretch of DNA in association with

histones.

CHROMOSOMES--Chromatin further condensed to

form chromosomes.


Histones.

Protein with higher concentration of basic amino

acids.

Acetylation of histones leads to activation of

transcription.

Deacetylation of histones causes depression of

transcription.
NUCLEOSOME.
DNA is very long molecules.

Human diploid genome consists of about 7x 10'9

base pairs.
INTRONS, EXONS, CISTRONS.

EXONS-The segment of the gene coding for proteins

are called exons.(expressed regions).

INTRONS-Interspaced silent areas in the

DNA(intervening areas ). Introns are not translated.

CISTRONS- is the unit of genetic expression.

one cistron will code for one polypeptide.

Repeat sequences of DNA.

Only about 1-2 % of the human DNA contain genes,

the rest are silent areas.

About 90% of the DNA is made up of non coding

intervening sequences, called as introns.

About 30 % of the genome consists of repetitive

sequences.
DNA STRUCTURE.


STRUCTURE DNA
DNA STRUCTURE.

Two strand are held together by hydrogen bond,

hydrophobic interaction and vander wall forces.

Adenine bonds with thymine by two hydrogen bond.

Guanine bonds with cytosine by 3 hydrogen bond.

Double stranded molecule is coiled into a Right

handed helix.

POLYPEPTIDE SYNTHESIS.
m RNA.

RNA is polymer of ribonucleotides.
m-RNA : it has cap, coding region, and poly A tail.
Cap at the 5' end is a 7- methyl- guanosine triphosphate

molecule.

Ribosome recognise mRNA by its cap structure.
Leader region-leader sequence is immediately after the

cap region.

Coding region--codes for protein synthesis, contains

start(AUG) and stop (UAG) codon

Termination sequence-lies after coding sequence.
Poly A tail- present at 3' end, helps in stability of mRNA.
TYPES OF RNA

messenger RNA.

Transfer RNA.

Ribosomal RNA.

The others are =
small nuclear RNA
micro RNA.
small interferring RNA
heterogenous RNA.
Messenger RNA.

5% of RNA in cell.

Function as messengers carrying the information in a

gene to the protein synthesizing machinery.

5- terminal end is capped by 7- methyl guanosine

Triphosphate cap.

The cap is involved in the recognition of mRNA by the

translating machinery.

It stablise mRNA by protecting it from 5 exonuclease.

3- end of most m- RNA have a polymer of Adenylate

residues.
Structure of m-RNA.

m-RNA molecules are formed with the help of DNA

template during process of transcription.

The sequence of nucleotides in m ? RNA is

complementary to the sequence of nucleotide on
template DNA.

Sequence carried on m-RNA is read in the form of

codons.

Codon is made up of 3 nucleotides.
m-RNA is formed after processing of hn RNA.
hn RNA.

Is immediate product of gene transcription.

75 % hn RNA is degradeded in the nucleus , only

25% is processed to mature RNA.

Mature RNA is formed from primary transcript by

caping, tailing ,splicing, and base modification.
Transfer RNA.

Most t -RNA display a clover leaf like structure with

several arms and loops.

ACCEPTOR ARM-

Near the 3' end and terminate in CCA

sequence.

This arm carries specific amino acid.


Structure of t- RNA.
t- RNA.

ANTI CODON ARM --
Anticodon arm reads the

nucleotide on mRNA ---CODON.

The comlimentary triplet anticodon is present in this arm.
D-ARM--
Because it contain at least two dihydrouracil

bases.

Helps in recognition of t-RNA by the enzyme amino acyl t

- RNA synthase.

Catalyse the attachment of aminoacid to the acceptor

arm with CCA sequence.
t-RNA.

T psi C Arm--

Two unusual nucleotides ?ribothymidine and

pseudouridine...

Thymine normally present in DNA.
variable arm- not always present.
FUNCTION OF t- RNA.

15% of cellular RNA.

Read information on mRNA and then provide

specific amino acid to Ribosome.
RIBOSOMAL RNA.

Ribosomes contain RNA 65% and protein 35%.

Ribosomal RNA protein combine to form a

nucleoprotein called ribosome.

Ribosome serve as the site and carries the enzyme

necessory for protein synthesis.
