Central Dogma of Molecular Biology The central dogma of molecular biology is an explanation of the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956 and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970.

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology

Thecentral dogma of molecular biologyis an explanation of the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It was first stated byFrancis Crickin 1956and re-stated in aNaturepaper published in 1970.

The central dogma ofmolecular biologydeals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer ofsequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred back from protein to either protein or nucleic acid. Francis Crick

DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid

DNA strands are termedpolynucleotidessince they are composed of simplermonomerunits called nucleotides

Each nucleotide is composed of one of fournitrogen-containingnucleobaseseithercytosine(C),guanine(G),adenine(A), orthymine(T)AsugarcalleddeoxyriboseAphosphate group.
