Molecular Basis of Inheritance | Digital notes

1)Meischer
- Isolate chemical from nucleus of pus cells of owl.
-This chem. is respon. for inheritance.
Named as Nuclein.

2)Later,Altman
- found the chemical nature of Nuclein is acid. - Nucleic acid 

Nuclic acid are of 2 types:-
1)DNA - is a long chain polymer of Nucleotides.
2)RNA
DNA Nucleotides:-
4 type:-
1)Deoxy adnesine Mono phosphate
2)Deoxy thymidine Mono phosphate
3)Deoxy Cytidine Mono phosphate
4)Deoxy Guanosine Mono phosphate

DNA
Nucleotide = Nucleoside + Phosphate group
Nucleoside = Sugar + N - base
N - Base:-
1) Purine = 9 membered double ring str.(At 1,3,7 and 9th, N is present.)
2)Pyrimidines = 6 membered single ring structure.(At 1,3 position, N is present.)
Deoxyribose sugar
Nucleotide:-

-At 5th no. (of sugar, phosphoester bond id form with phosphate group)
-At 1st no. (of sugar N - Glycosidic linkage is form with Nitrogen base.)
(1' -  9th) Purine
(1' - 1st) Pyramidin

-In one nucleotide at 3' - OH group is always remain free to attached to the another nucleotide k/a polynucleotide is from 5' - 3' direction.
-Another chain of polynucleotide attached anti parallel with the help of H - bond.
