Discovery of a “ transforming principle”
Frederick Griffith, 1928Pneumonia ( Diplococcus pneumoniae )infects mice.Mice develop pneumonia and die.
Two types of bacteria:R bacteria rough coat - no pneumonia
S bacteria smooth coat- pneumonia
Coat type is associated with virulence.

DNA is the genetic material
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, 1953
Viruses can infect the E. coli bacteria. A virus has protein “ head” and DNA core.
Infection occurs when virus injects DNA
into a bacterial cell.

Chemical Nature of Nucleic Acids
Levene’s work lead to the idea that thestructure of DNA was a simple repeatingunit of GATCGATCGATC
This is why no one thought it could be thegenetic material with a structure this simple
• Purines - Large organic bases – Adenine and Guanine
• Pyrimidines - Small organic bases – Cytosine and Thymine, Uracil (RNA)

CHARGAFF’S RULES
• In all DNA molecules: – The proportion of adenine is equal to
thymine• A = T
– The proportion of guanine is equal tocytosine
• G = C

DNA bases pair via hydrogen bonds
•Erwin Chargaff observed:
• % adenine = % thymine•% guanine = % cytosine•Complementary bases pair:
– A and T pair – C and G pair

Replication as a process
•Double-stranded DNAunwinds.
The junction of the unwoundmolecules is a replication fork.
A new strand is formed by pairingcomplementary bases with theold strand.
Two molecules are made.Each has one new and one oldDNA strand.
