DNA Structure

DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid

  • 5-carbon sugar(deoxyribose), phosphate, nitrogenous base(ATCG)

-double helix

-A = T, G = C

-antiparallel strands: 5’ to 3’ AND 3’ to 5’

-Hydrogen bonds bonding base pairs

-Covalent(phosphodiester/hydrophilic) bonds bonding sugar-phosphate backbone

-monomer: nucleotide

Eukaryotes: linear, in the nucleus of a cell(not allowed to leave)

Prokaryotes: circular, floating in the cytoplasm

2

RNA Structure

RNA: ribonucleic acid

-single-stranded

-A = U, G = C

New cards
3

DNA Replication

happens during S phase of interphase

New cards
4

Replication Fork

where DNA is unwound, forming a replication fork by DNA helicase

New cards
5

Topoisomerase

Prevent DNA ahead of replication fork from getting wound up too tightly(cuts temporary “nicks” to relieve tension and reseals them later

New cards
6

Helicase

unwinds double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds

New cards
7

Single-Stranded Binding Proteins

Stabilizes and keep strands at the replication fork from winding back up

New cards
8

RNA Primase

Makes an RNA primer that provides a 3’ end for the DNA polymerase to work on

New cards
9

Leading Strand

New DNA strand that is made in 1 continuous piece

New cards
10

Lagging Strand

DNA strand that is made in small pieces
