DNA-Stands for Deoxyribosenucleic Acid
deoxyribose-Sugar
purine-A colorless crystalline compound, C5H4N4, with basic a properties, forming uric acid on oxidation.
Pyrimidine-A colorless crystalline compound, C4H4N2, with basic properties. It is also substituted derivative of this, esp. the bases thymine and cytosine present in DNA.
Hydrogen bond- A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.
Helicase-Helicases are a class of enzymes vital to all living organisms. They are motor proteins that move directionally along a nucleic acid phosphodiester backbone, separating two annealed nucleic acid strands (i.e., DNA, RNA, or RNA-DNA hybrid) using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis.
Codon- A sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a
DNA or RNA molecule
anticodon-A sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA
molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA
prometer- region of DNA that indicates to an enzyme where to bind together to compose the RNA.
Scientist
Griffith- Griffith studied pneumonia bacteria and injected it into mice to see how the mice would react.
Avery/McCarthy/MacLeod- These scientists demonstrated that DNA wa sthe transforming agent of Griffith's experiment.
Hershey & Chase- These men concluded that genetic material is DNA.
Rosalind Franklin- Rosalind Franklin created the first picture of DNA and named it "Photo 51" which revealed DNA's structure.
Watson & Crick-Watson and Crick described DNA as a double helix with strands held together by weak hydrogen bonds with bases adonine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
Chargraff- Chargraff stated his rule, which said; any sample of DNA is the number of adonines (A) equals the number of thymines(T), and the number of cytosines (C) equals the number of guanines(G).
