    Study Notes

    Proteins

    • Globulins, albumins, and lipoproteins are categories of proteins responsible for transporting molecules such as hemoglobin and serum albumin.

    Kwashiorkor

    • The main cause of Kwashiorkor is a diet that lacks protein.

    Amino Acids

    • There are 20 different amino acids found in living organisms.

    Translation

    • The process called translation is when a mRNA molecule is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain or polypeptide.

    DNA Structure

    • The building blocks of DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
    • Purines are a double-ringed class of molecules that include adenine (A) and guanine (G).
    • The correct base pairing in DNA is adenine (A) with thymine (T) and guanine (G) with cytosine (C).
    • Erwin Chargaff proposed Chargaff's Rules.
    • The most common type of DNA helix is B-form DNA.
    • James Watson and Francis Crick shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the double-helix model of DNA structure.

    DNA Replication

    • The process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules is called replication.
    • During DNA replication, the leading strand is continuously synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, and the lagging strand is synthesized in short, discontinuous segments called Okazaki fragments in the 5' to 3' direction.
    • The enzymes involved in DNA replication on the lagging strand are RNA primase, DNA polymerase, and RNAse H.

    Genome

    • A genome is the complete set of genetic information contained within an organism's DNA.
    • The genome typically encodes in the form of genes, which carry information from one generation to the next.
    • The characteristics of an organism's genome include the complete set of genes, regulatory elements, and other functional regions.
    • Structural genes code for proteins.
    • Haemophilus influenzae was the first organism to have its genome shotgun sequenced.

    Post-Translational Modification

    • Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification of proteins, and it plays a crucial role in various cellular processes.
    • In bacteria, the residues phosphorylated are histidine and aspartate.
    • The function of response regulators in two-component signal transduction systems is to respond to environmental stimuli.

    Protein Synthesis

    • The main function of transport proteins is to transport molecules and ions across cell membranes.
    • The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can code for the same amino acid.

    Transcription

    • The function of the RNA polymerase in transcription is to synthesize a complementary RNA copy from a DNA template.
    • The primary function of alternative splicing is to generate different mRNA isoforms from a single gene.
    • The promoter in transcription is a specific DNA sequence that binds RNA polymerase, positioning it correctly to initiate transcription.
