What are the key molecules in DNA?
Phosphate ion, a pentose sugar (2-deoxyribose), the 4 bases; Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine
1 of 26
How is the phosphate ion arranged
HO-P(=O)(O-)-OH
2 of 26
How is the sugar arranged
Pentagon with O at top then OH at 1, 3, 5
3 of 26
What does DNA exist as
2 complementary strands of the sugar-phosphate polymer chain arranged in the form of a double helix
4 of 26
What is there between base pairs? what does this do?
Hydrogen bonding, leads to the 2 complementary strands of DNA
5 of 26
Which bases are 2 rings
Adenine and guanine
6 of 26
Which bases are 1 ring
Thymine and cytosine
7 of 26
On the bases which NH
Shown on data booklet
8 of 26
How many H bonds between guanine and cytosine
3
9 of 26
How many H bonds between Adenine and thymine
2
10 of 26
What is a nucleotide made up from
A phosphate ion, bonded to 2-deoxyribose which is in turn bonded to one of the four bases A,T,C,G
11 of 26
Order of how they bond in nucleotide
P-sugar- Base
12 of 26
How
bottom OH on phosphate becomes O bonded to HOCH2 which becomes just CH2 so C-O bond then on c1 N replaces OH and H
13 of 26
What is a single strand of DNA
Polymer of nucleotides linked by covalent bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 2-deoxyribose of another nucleotide
14 of 26
What does this result in
Sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate polymer chain with bases attached to the sugars in the chain
15 of 26
How
-H2O by OH on C3 and spare OH on phosphate ion joining eliminating H2O and bonding by an O
16 of 26
Where are the bonds in CG
O,NH,NH2 on G and NH2,N,O on C
17 of 26
where are bonds on AT
NH2, N on A and =O , NH on T
18 of 26
What is the Pt(11) complex Cisplatin
Used as an anticancer drug
19 of 26
Why does the cisplatin version only work
As 2 chloride ions are displaced and the molecule joins on to the DNA
20 of 26
In doing this, what does it stop
The replication of cancerous cells
21 of 26
How does Cisplatin prevent DNA replication in cancer cells
By a ligand replacement rxn with DNA in which a dative covalent bond is formed b/w platinum and a nitrogen atom on guanine
22 of 26
Which N atom on guanine bonds and why can't other N or O bond
N above NH on ring with less, as they aren't involved in the bonding within DNA
23 of 26
What can cisplatin also prevent
Replication of healthy cells by bonding on to healthy DNA which may lead to unwanted side effects like hair loss
24 of 26
How can unwanted side effect be minimised
By giving Cisplatin in small doses
25 of 26
What does society need to do
Assess the balance between the benefits and the adverse effects of drugs such as the anti cancer drug cisplatin
