Nucleic Acids & Proteins
Units 5 & 6
Nucleic AcidsNucleic Acids are Polymers made of Nucleotides
3 Parts:
a)Phosphate groupb)5-Carbon Sugarc)Nitrogen base
2 Types: DNA & RNA
b) 5-Carbon Sugar
a) Phosphate Group
c) Nitrogen Base
THYMINE URACIL
Nitrogen Bases Pyrimidines = C, T, & U
Purines = A & G
Pyrimidines ALWAYS bond to Purines
G bonds to CA bonds to T or U
Single ring
Double ring
Pyrimidines
Purines
RNA Sugar = Ribose
RNA is Single Stranded
RNA has Uracil
Sugar & phosphate backbone
Nitrogen Bases
DNA Sugar = Deoxyribose
DNA is Double Stranded
DNA has Thymine
Sugar & phosphate backbone
Nitrogen Bases
Hydrogen Bonds
A bonds to T; G bonds to C
Hydrogen bonds hold Nitrogen bases together to form the Double helix
DNA
DNA is found in the Nucleus of eukaryotic cells in the form of
Chromosomes
Sections of DNA that code for a protein are
called Genes Chromosomes are made of DNA wound around proteins called
Histones
Homologous chromosomes have
the same Genes (possibly different
alleles)
DNA ReplicationOriginal strands are used as a
Pattern/Template to build new Complimentary DNA strands
Enzymes help with this process:
Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complimentary strands
DNA Polymerases build the new strands and then proofread the nucleotide sequence
2 Identical DNA molecules are
produced.
Each molecule is made of one
ORIGINAL strand and one NEW strand.
Semi-conservative DNA Replication
ENZYMES of DNA Replication
UNZIPS STRANDS
ADDS NEW NUCLEOTIDES
Leading strand (3’ end)
Lagging strand (5’ end)
DNA polymerase can only move towards the 5’ end of the
original DNA molecule
(New DNA is built 5’ to 3’)
This means the Lagging strand is built in small sections
called Okazaki fragments.

Protein Synthesis
Transcription Translation
Protein Functions: Transport of substances, Enzymes that control the rate of reactions, provide Support, build Tissues, & fight Infections
3 Central Carbon

6 Carboxyl Group
7 R Group
Proteins are Polymers made of Amino Acids
4 Parts:

& R group
3 Types of RNA• mRNA = Copy of gene/DNA (instructions for making the
protein)• tRNA = Translates/Decodes mRNA and Transfers/Delivers
amino acids to the ribosome in the correct sequence• rRNA = Ribosomes are made of rRNA which Bond amino
acids together to build the Polypeptide (protein)
a) Messenger RNA b) Ribosomal RNA c) Transfer RNA
Transcriptionthe process of Copying DNA into the complimentary sequence of mRNA
The enzyme that copies the DNA (gene) into mRNA is
RNA polymerase
No T in RNA so A bonds to U
RNA Polymerase
Works just like DNA polymerase EXCEPT it adds RNA nucleotides
Transcription
occurs in the Nucleus
TranslationBegins when the mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the
Ribosome
tRNA decodes the mRNA 3 bases at a time
Codon = 3 base sequence on mRNA
Codons are complimentary to the Anticodons on the tRNA
rRNA forms Peptide bonds between Amino Acids to form the
Polypeptide (protein)
Translation
Anticodon
Amino Acid
Codon
Transcribe the following DNA into mRNA
DNA: TAC – CCG – GAT – TAG – ATC
mRNA: ____ - ____ - ____ - ____ - ___
Translate the above mRNA into the correct sequence of Amino Acids using
the Codon Chart
Protein: ____ - ____ - ____ - ____ - ____
AUG GGC CUA AUC UAG
Met Gly Leu Ile STOP
1 DNA = Template
2 mRNA built by RNA polymerase
3 Codons on mRNA
4 mRNA goes to ribosome
5 tRNA carries amino acids
6 tRNA Anticodon decodes mRNA codons
7 Amino acid bonded to Polypeptide
8 tRNA goes to pick up another Amino Acid
