1 DNA

2 DNA is the organic molecule Deoxyribonucleic Acid The function of DNA is as a molecule that permanently stores the information or instructions necessary to make Proteins in each cell

3 DNA Structure Monomer Nucleotide The Nucleotide is composed of 1) 5 Carbon Sugar 2) Phosphate Group 3) Nitrogenous Base

4 Nitrogenous Bases Adenine (A) Cytosine (C) Guanine (G) Thymine (T) The order of the Nitrogenous Bases determines the protein structure

5 Nucleotide Bonding DNA is a double stranded helical molecule Sugar Phosphate Backbone within strand Base Pairing Between strands

6

7 Discovery of DNA Structure Edwin Chargaff Rosalind Franklin James Watson & Francis Crick
