Lesson Overview 12.2 The Structure of DNA

The Components of DNA What are the chemical components of DNA? DNA is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotides joined into long strands or chains by covalent bonds.

Nucleic Acids and Nucleotides Nucleic acids are: long, slightly acidic molecules originally identified in cell nuclei. made up of nucleotides, linked together to form long chains.

Nucleic Acids and Nucleotides Nucleotides are composed of: 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose a phosphate group a nitrogenous base.

Nitrogenous Bases and Covalent Bonds Nucleotides of DNA are joined by covalent bonds formed between their sugar and phosphate groups.

Nitrogenous Bases and Covalent Bonds Four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A) thymine (T) guanine (G) cytosine (C)

Solving the Structure of DNA What clues helped scientists solve the structure of DNA? The clues in Franklin’s X-ray pattern enabled Watson and Crick to build a model that explained the specific structure and properties of DNA.

Chargaff’s Rule Chargaff’s rule: Erwin Chargaff discovered that the % of adenine and thymine bases and guanine and cytosine are almost equal in any sample of DNA. A – T C – G

Franklin’s X-Rays Rosalind Franklin –1950s, British scientist –used X-ray diffraction to get information about the structure of the DNA molecule. –revealed an X-shaped pattern –showed that the strands in DNA are twisted around each other –The angle of the X pattern suggested that there are two strands –suggested that the nitrogenous bases are near the center of the DNA molecule.

The Work of Watson and Crick James Watson an American biologist Francis Crick a British physicist  1953, shown a copy of Franklin’s X-ray pattern  Built three-dimensional models of the molecule  Double helix; two strands wound around each other  “Twisted ladder”

The Double-Helix Model What does the double-helix model tell us about DNA? The double-helix model explains Chargaff’s rule of base pairing and how the two strands of DNA are held together.

The Double-Helix Model A double helix looks like a twisted ladder. In the double-helix model of DNA, the two strands twist around each other like spiral staircases. The double helix accounted for Franklin’s X-ray pattern and explains Chargaff’s rule of base pairing and how the two strands of DNA are held together.

Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogenous bases together relatively weak chemical force allows the two strands to separate critical to DNA’s functions

Base Pairing Watson and Crick’s model showed that hydrogen bonds could create a nearly perfect fit between nitrogenous bases along the center of the molecule. These bonds would form only between certain base pairs—adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine. This nearly perfect fit between A–T and G–C nucleotides is known as base pairing, and is illustrated in the figure.

Base Pairing Watson and Crick realized that base pairing explained Chargaff’s rule. It gave a reason why [A] = [T] and [G] = [C]. For every adenine in a double- stranded DNA molecule, there had to be exactly one thymine. For each cytosine, there was one guanine.
