Document Summary
Extra oh on c2 of rna makes it less stable so it can be enviro responsive. Nitrogenous base adenine adenosine nucleoside datp for dna or atp for. Chargaffs rule: base comp of dna varies from species to species, dna samples from diff tissues of the same species have the same base comp, dna base comp dn change w age, nutritional state or enviro. In all dnas, a=t, g=c (at longer + easier to compress/pack) Rosalind franklin- x ray crystallography to identify dimensions of dna helix and water content of dna. Crick- major groove used for binding proteins, antiparallel written in 5-3 direction, 10. 5bp=one turn sens strand 5-atgtct-3 antisense 3-tacaga-5 (non-coding, template) Long-term storage of genetic info: base seq for one strand defines seq of other template for dna rep: fidelity- can be sep + used as temp coding for proteins + functional rnas.
