Study Notes
Antibiotics and Protein Synthesis
- Tetracycline inhibits binding of aminoacyl tRNA to the ribosome
- Streptomycin inhibits initiation of translation
- Chloramphenicol inhibits peptidyl transferase
- Erythromycin inhibits translocation of mRNA along with ribosome
RNA Functions
- RNA can act as an adapter molecule, catalytic molecule, and genetic material
RNA Structure
- Nucleoside found only in RNA is Uridine
- Uracil is a pyrimidine base found in RNA
DNA Structure
- Cytosine is a pyrimidine base found in DNA
- Adenine and guanine are purines found both in DNA and RNA
History of DNA Discovery
- Watson and Crick based their model of DNA on X-ray diffraction data produced by Franklin and Wilkins
Organisms and Genome Size
- Humans have more base pairs than E. coli, bacteriophage, and yeast
Genetic Material
- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material
- Dideoxyribo nucleic acid is not a genetic material
- There are 2 types of nucleic acids found in the living system: DNA and RNA
Thymine
- Another name for thymine is 5 – methyl uracil
History of Genetic Material
- The term 'Nuclein' for the genetic material was used by Meischer
