Nucleic Acids Function:

genetic material stores information

genesblueprint for building proteins

DNA → RNA → proteins transfers information (self-

replicating)blueprint for new cellsblueprint for next generation

Nucleic Acids Examples:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) single helix

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helix

Structure: monomers = nucleotides

RNADNA

Page 6: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Nucleotides 3 parts

nitrogen base (C-N ring) pentose sugar (5C)

ribose in RNA deoxyribose in DNA

phosphate (PO4) group

Are nucleic acidscharged molecules?

Nitrogen baseI’m the

A,T,C,G or Upart!

Page 7: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Types of nucleotides 2 types of nucleotides

different nitrogen bases purines

double ring N base adenine (A) guanine (G)

pyrimidines single ring N base cytosine (C) thymine (T) uracil (U)

Purine = AGPure silver!

AP Biology

Nucleic polymer Backbone

sugar to PO4 bond phosphodiester bond

new base added to sugar of previous base

polymer grows in one direction

N bases hang off the sugar-phosphate backbone

Dangling bases?Why is this important?

Page 9: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Pairing of nucleotides Nucleotides bond between

DNA strands H bonds purine :: pyrimidine A :: T

2 H bonds G :: C

3 H bonds

Matching bases?Why is this important?

Page 10: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

DNA molecule Double helix

H bonds between bases join the 2 strands A :: T C :: G

H bonds? What are they?Why is this important?

Page 11: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Copying DNA Replication

2 strands of DNA helix are complementary have one, can build other have one, can rebuild the

whole

Matching halves?Why is this

a good system?

Page 12: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

When does a cell copy DNA? When in the life of a cell does DNA

have to be copied? cell reproduction

mitosis gamete production

meiosis

Page 13: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

DNA replication“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.”

James WatsonFrancis Crick

1953

AP Biology

Watson and Crick … and others…

1953 | 1962

Page 15: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Maurice Wilkins… and…1953 | 1962

Page 16: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958)

Page 17: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Interesting note… Ratio of A-T::G-C

affects stability of DNA molecule 2 H bonds vs. 3 H bonds biotech procedures

more G-C = need higher T° to separate strands

high T° organisms many G-C

parasites many A-T (don’t know why)

Another interesting note… ATP

Adenosine triphosphate

modified nucleotide adenine (AMP) + Pi + Pi

AP Biology

Carbohydrates Structure / monomer

monosaccharide Function

energy raw materials energy storage structural compounds

Examples glucose, starch, cellulose, glycogen

glycosidic bond

Page 22: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Lipids Structure / building block

glycerol, fatty acid, cholesterol, H-C chains

Function energy storage membranes hormones

Examples fat, phospholipids, steroids

ester bond (in a fat)

Page 23: Organic Chemistry Nucleic acids: DNA,RNA

AP Biology

Proteins Structure / monomer

amino acids levels of structure

Function enzymes ◆ defense transport ◆ structure signals ◆ receptors

Examples digestive enzymes, membrane

channels, insulin hormone, actin

peptide bond

RNA & DNA RNA

single nucleotide chain DNA

double nucleotide chain N bases bond in pairs

across chains spiraled in a double helix

double helix 1st proposed as structure of DNA in 1953 by James Watson & Francis Crick (just celebrated 50th anniversary in 2003!)

AP Biology

Information polymer Function

series of bases encodes information like the letters of a book

stored information is passed from parent to offspring need to copy accurately

stored information = genes genetic information

Passing on information?Why is this important?
