From gene to protein
*Gene
DNA
RNA
Protein
Replication Transcription Translation
DNA as the Genetic Material
The flow of information:
1. Storage
2. Replication
3. Expression
*Transcription
*Translation
Phenotype
Review nucleotide structure:
Structural analysis of DNA
DNA Replication and Synthesis
•Complementarity
•”It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have
postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism … “
•Mode of DNA Replication
Semiconservative
*Overview: DNA replication
*Complementarity determines
which nucleotide will be
added
*Chain elongation in a 5’-to-3’
direction
Initiation
*Strands must separate
•Helicases
•SSBPs
•DNA gyrase
*Primase
*Two strands of a double helix are antiparallel
•Continuous DNA synthesis = leading
•Discontinuous DNA synthesis = lagging
A large team of enzymes carry
out DNA replication:
•Helicases
•SSBPs
•DNA gyrase
Elongation:
•Association of polymerase
•Sliding clamp
•Primase
•DNA synthesis (DNA pol)
•Primer removal and replacement
(DNA pol)
•Ligase closes the gaps
The Molecular Basis of Heredity
The Flow of Genetic Information in the Cell
The Genetic Code
