Study Notes
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
- The central dogma states that information is transferred from nucleic acid to protein, but not from protein to nucleic acid.
- The central dogma was first stated by Francis Crick.
- The central dogma was first published in 1970 in a Nature paper by Francis Crick.
- The central dogma describes the transfer of information from nucleic acid to protein as a one-way process.
- According to Francis Crick, once information has passed into protein, it cannot be transferred back to nucleic acid.
- The central dogma defines "information" as the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and function of an organism.
- The original meaning of the central dogma is that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins, but not in the reverse direction.
- The central dogma accurately describes the process of gene expression, where genetic information is used to synthesize proteins.
