The hydrophilic backbones are on the outside of the helices while the hydrophobic purine and pyrimidine bases are stacked inside. The deoxyribose is in the C-2’ endo conformation. The offset pairing of the two strands creates a major groove and minor groove on the surface of the duplex. 29 DNA backbone 5’ end Hydrophilic backbone Hydroxyl group of deoxyribose Ionized phosphate group Negatively charged at pH 7 Hydrophobic bases Hydrophobic stacking interaction Van der Waals interaction + dipole-dipole interaction 3’ end 30 31 32 At least three forms of DNA can be crystallized.

Telomeres (cap) at the end of chromosome by x(TTAGGG) and form T-loop During chromosome replication, the enzymes that duplicate DNA cannot continue their duplication all the way to the end of a chromosome, so in each duplication the end of the chromosome is shortened. Telomerase, which carries out the task of adding repetitive nucleotide sequences to the ends of the DNA. Telomerase, thus, "replenishes" the telomere "cap" of the DNA. 78 Telomere shorten until senescence! 79 Domestic dog karyotypes 80 Mouse karyotypes Cat karyotypes 81 Cell cycle G0 phase S phase Resting cell/ quiescent DNA synthesis Withdraw from cell cycle RNA and protein synthesis G1 phase G2 phase RNA and protein synthesis RNA and protein synthesis M phase Mitosis and cytokinesis 82 Cell cycle G0 83 Cell division Interphase G1, S, and G2 phase Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase 84 References Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Vol. 65, No. 2, pp. 168- 175, January 1970.
