Chapter 16 Notes: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Overview: Life’s Operating Instructions In 1953‚ James Watson and Francis Crick introduced an elegant double-helical model for the structure of DNA. DNA‚ the substance of inheritance‚ is the most celebrated molecule of our time. Hereditary information is encoded in DNA and reproduced in all cells of the body. This DNA program directs the development of biochemical‚ anatomical‚ physiological‚ and (to some extent) behavioral traits Early in

DNA polymerase matches complementary nucleotides to the templates; the templates may be properly referred to as the leading strand template and the lagging strand templates Leading strand The leading strand is the template strand of the DNA double helix so that the replication fork moves along it in the 3’ to 5’ direction. This allows the newly synthesized strand complementary to the original strand to be synthesized 5’ to 3’ in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork. On the leading

actually be the gene. Usually people thought that the gene would be protein‚ not nucleic acid‚ but by the late 1940s‚ DNA was largely accepted as the genetic molecule. In 1948‚ Linus Pauling discovered that many proteins take the shape of an alpha helix‚ spiraled like a spring coil. In 1950‚ Erwin Chargaff found that the arrangement of nitrogen bases in DNA varied widely‚ but the amount of certain bases always occurred in a one-to-one ratio. In the early 1950s‚ there was a race to discover DNA among

terms of clusters of interacting residues and the identification of highly connected residues (hubs) along the protein–DNA interface. A predominance of deoxyribose–amino acid clusters in b-sheet proteins‚ distinction of the interface clusters in helix–turn–helix‚ and the zipper-type proteins would not have been possible by conventional pairwise interaction analysis. Additionally‚ we propose a potential classification scheme for a set of protein–DNA complexes on the basis of the protein–DNA interface
