  • Nucleic acids
    • nucleotide
      • phosphate group
      • nitrogenous base
        • adenine -> thymine
          • 2 hydrogen bonds
        • Guanine -> cytosine
          • 3 hydrogen bonds
      • pentose sugar - deoxyribose/ribose
      • condensation reaction
        • polynucleotide
        • phosphodiester bond formed
        • phosphate of C-1' bonded to OH on C'3 form sugar phosphate backbone
    • Adenine triphosphate (ATP)
      • adenine
      • 3 phosphate
      • ribose
      • good energy store
        • hydrolysis releases energy
        • phosphorylation stores energy
      • properties
        • small
          • easy movement
        • easily regenerated
        • soluble in aq environments
        • immediate energy release in bonds
          • no energy lost as heat
            • efficient
          • energy is released in small quantities
    • DNA - deoxyribonucleic aicd
      • structure
        • 2 polynucleotide strands
        • run in antiparallel
        • complementary pairing of bases
      • Purification
        • grind is mortar and pestle
        • mix with detergent
          • break down membrane
        • add salt
          • break hydrogoen bonds between water and DNA
        • add protease
          • break down proteins
        • add ethanol
          • DNA precipitate
            • spool onto glass rod
      • Replication
        • Semi conservative
          • 2 DNA strands formed
          • both have old and new strand
          • old acts as a template
        • (1)  DNA gyrase uncoils
        • (2) DNA helicase unzips
          • breaks hydrogen bonds between complementary bases
        • (3) 5' to 3'
          • leading strand
            • DNA polymerase continuously adds complementary bases
        • (4) 3' to 5'
          • lagging strand
            • Okazaki fragments form
              • joined by DNA ligase
        • (5) condensation reaction
          • phosphate and OH group
            • phosphodiester bonds form
          • Untitled
