Where is peptidoglycan transferase found
In RIBSOMES.
Nucleus acid context
Was discovered in cell nuclei so that’d why they were given this name , two types dna and and rna and both have roles in storage and transfer of genetic information, scythe did for proteins and basis for heriditwryn
What makes a nhcelic acid a nuclei acids
Nuclei acids are polymers from nucleotides l every nucleotide has
- a pentose monosaccharide = either ribose or deoxyribose
- a phosphate group
- a NITROGENOUS BASE
Thus all elements are C, H, O ,P and N !
More on ntitigounednbade?
Nitrogenous base contains either one or two carbon rings and hss nitrogen
How do they join
Nucleotides join by condensation reactions forming covalent bonds
These happen between the phosphate group of one nucleotide which is connected to the FIFTH CARBON and the hydroxyl group of another nucleotide in the third carbon
This makes ohosphodiedyer bonds
Sgsin phonation grouo on 5th carbon connected to hydrolysis group on third
When they join like this they make a long chain of nucleotides that from the sugar phosphate backbone m which is only broken in hydro lido
5’ 3’?
The the first top bit will be 5’ as it starts here and ends at 3’ , the other chain of nuckeoditded will be from 3’ to 5’ AS THEY ARE ANTIPARALLEL
Now specifically for DNA = DEOXYRIBOSE NUCLEIC ACID?
= pentode monosaccharide is DEOXYRIBOSE ( and its ribose but without one oxygen. )
- phosphate group
- and can have between 4 nitrogenous base sugars = adenine guanine cytosine thymine
Ribose vs deoxyribose
Both have hydroxyl group on OH on carb 3 which necessary for onophiduedyer
It ribose had a O on csrbknn3 Sewell , deoxyribose DOESNT!
The 4 nitrogenous bases can be split into purines and purdimsidined bssed on how many csrbknnringd they have (1 or 2) which ones
Basically if it has Y so cytosine and thymine , then pYrimidine !
If no y then purine
PURINE ARE PURE SO THEY ARE BIGGER , this means they have a DOUBLE CSRBIN RING STRUCTURE
And thus pyramiding has single carbon ring structure
So it onyl binds from purine to pyrimidne so pure is adenine guanine and bigger and they bind to thymine and cytosine smaller sndnoruinidne ?
Why are AT AND CG COMPLIMENTARY TO EACH OTHER ?
because they may a specific amount of hydrogen bonds with each other which couldn’t happen another way
- purines bind with oyrmidines so AT and CG , thryncomplimentsry becaude they form specific amounts of hydrogen bonds here
AT = 2 CG = 3,
What is the actual arrangement of nucleotides dna nuclotidesin a molecule of dna ?
- made from two strands of polynucleotides (oh yah multipe nucleotides join to make polyneucletoudes .
- two strands are coiled to make a DOUBKE HELIX , where both strands are comolimenttaily base paired , with hydrogen bonds in between
- the. Two strands run opposite to each other and thus are antiparallel, this is thronly way they can successfully pair and be srrnsged
- here this is 5’ to 3’ and then then anitparallel is 3’ to 5’
So start from I discuss nucleotides that join by phosphodiedter bonds, thennteo dtrsndshydrogen bonds complimentary and sntiparlalle thstbcoil to make a double helix ,
Why is base pairing properties importemt
The pairing between bases allows DNA to be copied and transcribed EXACTLY - and these are key properties required of the molecule for heridatwy , if it bonded differently each time it would not be able to perfection transcribe etc
Now that we have our genetic information stored in sequence of bases, how is this transferred = WHAT IS RNA
ribonuclease acid
- nucleotides still
- with a phosphate group,
- ribose pentose monoscshride (had whole OH on carbon 2)
And also nitrogenous base
- this can be adenine guanine cytosine but not thymine, replaced by URACIL when copying
As thymine was pYrimidine with singl carbon ring, so is URACIL!
this transfer needs to happen because dna to bug snd two ssvrednto leave and come back each times so a section is copied and used instesd
This is transcribed into a messenger RNA and thus mRNA molecule
And the fact AT makes 2 AU makes 2 hydrogen bonds too, the fact this happens means base pairing rules still apply and copies are cal,
Here indifuak RNA nuekcotides also join in exact same way by 5 and 3 pjophodiedter bonds
Once dome
What happens once finished
RNA molecule degrades in cytoplasm , where lhosphidetder bonds hydroksied snd rna nucleotides released and reused
KEY DIFFERENCE =
KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DNA AND mRNA
DNA IS OF TWO STRANDS, MRNA ONLY ONE!
Why still complimentsyrb
As it still makes 2 hydrogen bonds, it emsns suit is still coplemit entry
How do DNA extraction from plant material and why , what does each step do?
1) grind sample with pestle and mortar
- grinding will BREAK DOWN CELL WALLS
2) ADD either DNA extraction buffer or constituent home made ones , this contains = detergent , salt , protease enxumes
- the detergent interferes and breaks up cell membranes due to structure cussing them to form little micelles and break up like fats . This releases the Contents of the cell out into the solution
- now yius dd salt, which breaks the hydrogen bonds between the DNA and userounfing Ayer
- then you add protease enxumes , and these breakdown the HISTONE PROTEINS dna is wounded with , now you have dna free
3) at this point filter than add ICE COLD ETHANOL INZ
- this causes DNA to predeipate out of the solution
- and DNA is no longer protected here ss it is exposed so the soil keeps it protected
5) ss if precipices, ectrsctnusing dolit at angle without damaging
Explanation sgsin
1) use a pestle snd Mortar to crush the sample and this removes cell walls
2) now add detergent - this breaks down cell surface membranes by interfering with steufture, causing content of cell to be relesded into the mixture
3) now add salt which breaks hydrogen bonds that are made between dna and water
4) now add protease enxumes and breaks down his tone proteins in between , exposing dna from not being as compact
5) pour it in to a COLD layer of ethanol, which caused the DNA to predicate out, and ethanol protects
6) use splits to extract st angle to not damage the dna
You could do it better by hosting first to cause proteins to denature already +
How to do it there?
Heat and this caused protease to break down etc , can also use RNAse which will cause rna to break down too
Why need to denature enxumes?
Stops any enxumes from actually breaking the DNA instead
Why do cells require energy for in three typed?
Synthesis = large molecules such as proteins from small require energy
- transport = pumping molecules or ions across cell membranes for active transport
- movement = protein contractile fibres in muscles to cause movement
How is energy supplied
Through ATP , adenosine triphoohste , which is a nucleotide that easilky gives energy
Steufture ATP = Remember it’s a nucleotide ?
= - pentose monosaccharide which is ALWAYS RIBOSE
- nitrogenous base which is always ADENINE
- and three phosphate groups
= adenosine (adenine and ribose ) triphoohste atp
Why is ATP called universal energy currency! Is it just human “
No it is the molecules used for energy transfer in ALL LIVING THINGS, not just humans
