The history of DNA structure discovery(sec.4.1): 1869- Johan miescher •studies the nuclei of white blood cells(isolated th material using HCL and digestive proteins •Named the substance nulclein and also found the material was rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. 1919-Pheobus levene •Discovered that DNA was made of chains of nucleotides *see nucleotide structure* 1920 DNAvsRNA * see chart •Thought that 4 nucleotides were connected in the same repeated pattern •protein gas 20 amino acids

For a non-technical introduction to the topic‚ see Introduction to genetics. For other uses‚ see DNA (disambiguation). The structure of the DNA double helix. The atoms in the structure are colour-coded by element and the detailed structure of two base pairs are shown in the bottom right. The structure of part of a DNAdouble helix Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses

James Watson: An American biologist man who has a research about the DNA. For me‚ James Watson at first was a bit weird guy because of the way he stared and looked at people around him. He is a mysterious guy and a bit naughty to the ladies he has seen. As one of the character said‚ he is the “boy-wonderer”. He is also a very

called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together‚ a base‚ sugar‚ and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder‚ with the base pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder. DNA usually occurs as linear chromosomes in eukaryotes‚ and circular

On the other hand the first adult female death was recorded in the 36‚ 46 and 49 day on three ornamental plant leaves H. helix L.‚ P. tobira (Thunb.) and N. oleander L. respectively.

BMAP27 was calculated to be > 60% and < 20% in the simulations for the LLM and TLM models‚ respectively (S2B Fig). The results closely resemblance the CD spectroscopy findings of its homologous protein in human that shows partial binding and ~10 % helix in mammalian-like membranes as compared to bacterial-like membranes [38]. The number of intermolecular H-bonds were the highest for the helical cationic residues bonding with the lipid phosphate and carboxyl atoms in the TLM and LLM systems‚ respectively

The DNA molecule takes the shape of a double helix‚ a simple structure that resembles gently twisted ladders. The rails of the ladder are made of pairs of nitrogen-containing nucleotides‚ which are subdivisions of DNA. Because each nucleotide within a rung of the DNA ladder is always paired with the

James Dewey Watson For my biography‚ I decided to write about the biologist James Dewey Watson. He was born during the 1920’s. Along the side of Francis Crick‚ he was famous for the discovery of the DNA double helix. The way we look at the composition of the human body is different because of them and their research. James Watson was born on April 5‚ 1928 to the parents of James D. Watson and Jean Mitchell. His father back round was of English descent and his mother’s
