Document Summary
Study guide: dna rna protein, protein: gene product of the cell. Dna: linear double stranded molecule that forms a helix shape: can be replicated for a cell to divide, can also transcribe dna into rna, library of genetic information. Rna: single stranded molecule that has complimentary sequence to the dna and serves as a messenger between dna and protein: has all the information in it that becomes translated into protein, blueprints . Molecular biology: can be used to study diseases, diagnostics, drugs & treatments, biotechnology, make genetically modified organisms, turn bacteria into manufacturing units for proteins that are useful to humans (ex. A: the phosphate group: protein: made of amino acids, usually noncovalent interactions, ex. & pi stacking in adjacent nucleotides: non-canonical base pairing can happen because it"s single stranded, ex. Dna gets integrated into host machinery, make enough viral cells, and the cell pops (lysis: process continues, infecting other bacteria.
