PPT-1 The Structure of DNA

DNA or Protein Walter Sutton discovered chromosomes were made of DNA and Protein However scientists were NOT sure which one protein or DNA was the actual genetic material of the cell. DNA is composed of polynucleotide chains. The helical structure of . DNA. Formation of Nucleotides. Structure of polynucleotide polymer. Each base has its preferred . tautomeric. form. Purine. and . DNA Structure. The discovery of the structure. Francis Crick and James Watson. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is the genetic blueprint for each cell and ultimately the blueprint that determines every characteristic of a living organism. The DNA molecule was discovered in 1951 by Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins using X-ray diffraction. . Stryer. Short course. Chapter 33. Nucleic Acid Structure. Nucleobase. Nucleoside. Nucleotide. Nucleic acid. Chromatin. Chromosome. Polymeric Structure. Polymer ideal for informational molecule. Ribose and deoxyribose. THINK ABOUT IT. The DNA molecule must somehow specify how to assemble proteins, which are needed to regulate the various functions of each cell.. What kind of structure could serve this purpose without varying from cell to cell?. Essential idea: The structure of DNA allows efficient storage of genetic information.. There is 2m of DNA in each human cell, however the most cells in the human body have a diameter of 10 . μm. . This DNA is divided in chromosomes and coiled around proteins called histones so that it can be efficiently stored in each cell's nucleus. The human genome project which has decoded the case sequence for the whole 2m of the human genome requires a data warehouse (pictured) to store the information electronically. This should give a good idea of just how efficient DNA is at storing information and why it needs to be so.. shapes and patterns. 조연우. Contents. DNA. DNA origami. The application of DNA origami.
