DNA, RNA, and Proteins Recall: Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA) are

macromolecules made up of linked monomers called nucleotides

Nucleotides - Sugars we’ll look at:

DNA, RNA, and Proteins Why is DNA a double helix?

Image Source: whitni13.blogspot.com

Phosphates & sugars

are hydrophilic

( H2O)

Water can

enter here

Nitrogenous bases are hydrophobic ( H2O)

Twisting shape minimizes

where water can get in

Antiparallel strands aid in creating the double helix

DNA, RNA, & Proteins 3 Types of RNA:

mRNA rRNA tRNA

“messenger” “ribosomal” “transfer”

Carries genetic info from DNA (in nucleus) to

ribosome (in cytoplasm)

Combines with a protein to form the ribosome

Transports amino acids to the ribosome

DNA, RNA, and Proteins Proteins are essential to life: antibodies, enzymes,

hormones, structure, storage, transport, etc. A macromolecule made of linked monomers called

amino acids:

DNA, RNA, and Proteins Proteins: Complex 3D

Structure

Primary Structure: order of

amino acids in a protein (a.k.a.

“polypeptide chain”).

Secondary Structure: coiling or

pleating.

Tertiary Structure: coils &

pleats attract each other.

Quaternary Structure: multiple

proteins grouped together.

DNA, RNA, and Proteins Only 20 amino acids, BUT:

Any NUMBER of amino acids Any ORDER of amino acidsMillions of Protein Combinations!
