dna history Flashcards
miescher
PUS CELLS
found NUCLEIN
(debate of proteins vs nuclein)
hammerling
ACETABULARIA
caps regrew (according to foot), foot didnt
hereditary info = nucleus
griffith
PNEUMONIA VACCINE
substance (transforming principle) could transfer virulence to non virulent bacteria
hershey and chase
BACTERIOPHAGES with radioactive labels on DNA and proteins
DNA enter bacteria, not proteins (dna = transforming factor)
LEVEN
Isolated 2 NUCLEIC ACIDS
found that each nucleotide = 1/4 N bases, sugar, phosphate group
BUT thought tetranucleotide
chargaffs rule
AT, GC (% composition)
pauling
many proteins have helix shapes
franklin and maurice
x ray DIFFRACTION showed proteins structure (backbone and helix)
x ray diffraction:
(franklin and maurice) x rays deflected by atoms in molecule = pattern of light and dark lines on film
watson and crick
looked at C, F, W’s work, deduced LADDER HELIX (sugar phosphate sides, bases rungs
