Document Summary

What it the structure of dna: discovered only 50-60 years ago, pentose sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group, 1 of 4 nitrogenous. The four nucleotides of dna: thymine (t, cytosine (c, adenine (a, guanine (g) Structure of nucleotide strand: forms a sugar-phosphate backbone, read this from phosphate end to sugar end. Base pairing in dna: a and t pair, g and c pair, a-t has two hydrogen bonds, g-c has three hydrogen bonds (stronger) Watson-crick model of dna structure: dna is a double helix of two nucleotide strands, complementary base pairs hold the two dna strands together, complementary strands run in opposite directions, p s. S p: used x-ray crystallography to figure this out. X-ray diffraction of dna: maurice wilkins and rosalind franklin knew that dna formed a helix by the patterns seen in x-ray diffraction, thought it was a single strand.
