Pentosen

Pentosen (von griech. pente fünf) sind Monosaccharide, deren Kohlenstoffgrundgerüst fünf Kohlenstoffatome enthält.

nucleoside

nucleotide

base nucleotide

phosphates

sugar in nucleotides

DNA-->deoxyribose

RNA-->ribose

nomenclausure

nucleic acid

nucleotides are joint with phosphodiester bond

3' end hydrocyl from sugar C3
5'end phospho acid sugar C5
the code is z.B A-G-C -->leftside ist the 5'end

ribonucleic acid --> RNA
deoxyribonucleic acid -->DNA

function of nucleotides

  • storage biological information -->DNA
  • carry chemical energy-->ATP
  • form with other groups coenzymes
  • used for signaling molecule -->cAMP

 

subunit of DNA

two long polynucleotide chains. there are four types of nucleotide A/C/G/T

conections between the two strand

hydrogene bonds between the complementary base pairs

always
a-t --> 2 hydrogene bonds
g-c --> 3 hydrogene bonds

chromatin

Chromatin ist das Material, aus dem die Chromosomen bestehen. Es handelt sich um einen Komplex aus DNA und speziellen Proteinen, von denen wiederum etwa die Hälfte Histone sind.

nucleosome

Nukleosomen bilden einen Komplex aus DNA und Histonen. Dies ist die erste Verpackungsstufe der DNA im Zellkern eukaryotischer Zellen. Die Abfolge der Nukleosomenpakete, welche die DNA im Chromatin als 30 nm dicke Faser zusammenhalten, wird Solenoidstruktur genannt.

packing chromosome

Three DNA sequence

replication DNA

replication forks

5' - 3' replication

there are no enzyme to produce 3' - 5'

5'-3' leading strand
3'-5' lagging strand

proofreads

proofrading is 3' - 5'

lagging strand

  1. RNA primer
  2. build DNA backwards 5'-3'
  3. remove primer (Enzyme nuclease)
  4. replace with DNA(Enzyme repair polymerase)
  5. join the DNA fragment together (Enzyme ligase)

helicase

a protein that pry the double helix apart. using ATP

Random Chemical Damage of DNA

  • Depurination
  • deamination

DNA repair involves three steps

1. EXCISION
2. RESYNTHESIS
3. LIGATION

Difference Between RNA and DNA

DNA to protein

RNA are only a few tousend nucleotides long (DNA 250Milionen)

The enzymes that carry out transcription

RNA polymerase (enzyme)

forms the phosphodiester bonds of the sugar-phosphate backbone

RNA Folds in Structures

(a) conventional base-pairing interactions;
(B) with both conventional (red) and nonconventional base-pair interactions (green);
(C) structure of an actual rNa molecule that is involved in rNa splicing.
 

ribonucleotides

In biochemistry, a ribonucleotide or ribotide is a nucleotide containing ribose as its pentose component.

deoxyribonucleotide

A deoxyribonucleotide is the monomer, or single unit, of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid

mRNA

In eucaryotes, each mRNA typically carries information transcribed from just one gene, coding for a single protein

start end signal RNA polymerase

sigma factor

A subunit of the bacterial polymerase, called sigma (s) factor, is primarily responsible for recognizing the promoter sequence on DNA

promoter

Als Promotor, auch Promoter (ursprünglich franz. promoteur, Anstifter, Initiator), wird in der Genetik eine Nukleotid-Sequenz auf der DNA bezeichnet, die die regulierte Expression eines Gens ermöglicht. Der Promotor ist ein essenzieller Bestandteil eines Gens. Er liegt am 5'-Ende des kodierenden Stranges des Gens[1] und somit in Syntheserichtung vor dem RNA-codierenden Bereich.

modified mRNA

addition of a cap at the 5' end and by cleavage of the
primary transcript and the addition of a poly-a tail at the 3' end.

introns

most eucaryotic genes (exons) are interrupted by noncoding sequences (introns).

RNA splicing

transcription eucaryotes and procaryotes

codon

Each group of three consecutive nucleotides in RNA is called a codon,
and each specifies one amino acid.

4x4x4=64 possible combination (20 amino acid)

tRNA

tRNA molecules are molecular adaptors, linking amino acids to codons.

serve as adaptors between mRNA and amino acids during
protein synthesis

specific enzymes Couple tRNAs to the Correct Amino
Acid
