• Key points on DNA double helic structure (1) DNA is composed of two strand wound round eac
h other to form a double helix. The two DNA stands are organized in an antiparallel arrangement: the two strands run in opposite directions, one strand is oriented 5’→3’ and the other is oriented 3’ →5’.
(2) The bases on the inside and the sugar-phosphate backbones (骨架) on the outside.
(3) The diameter of the double helix is 2 nm, the distance between two base is 0.34 nm, each turn of the helix involves 10 bases pairs, 34 nm.

Section 4 Properties of nucleic acid

cidic because of phosphate. (2) Solid DNA white fiber; RNA white powde
r. Insoluble in organic solvents, can be precipitate by ethanol.
(3) Can be hydrolyzed by acid/alkaline/enzymes
![Page 49: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
2. UV Absorption 紫外吸收
• Specific absorption at 260nm.
• This can be used to identify nucleic acid
![Page 50: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The UV absorption spectra of the common ribonucleotides
![Page 51: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
3. Denaturation 变性• Concept: • the course of hydrogen bonds broken, 3-D
structure was destroyed, the double helix changed into single strand irregular coid
• Results:
(1) the value of 260nm absorption is increased
(2) Viscous 黏度 is decreased
(3) biological functions are lost
![Page 52: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Heat denaturation and Tm
When DNA were heated to certain temperature, the absorption value at 260nm would increased sharply , which indicates that the double strand helix DNA was separated into single strand. When the absorption value increases to 40%, the value change would low down, which indicates the double strands had been completely separated.
![Page 53: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
DNA denaturation and Tm
![Page 54: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Tm: melting temperature of DNA
• The temperature of UV absorption increase to an half of maximum value in DNA denaturation.
• Factors affect Tm:
G-C content: there are three hydrogen bonds between G-C pair. The more G-C content, the higher Tm value.
• (G+C)% = (Tm-69.3) × 2.44
![Page 55: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Higher G+C
Less G+C
Temperature
Tm of two DNA molecules with different G+C content

4. Renaturation of DNA
• When slowly cooling down the denatured DNA solution, the single strand DNA can reform a double strands helix to recover its biological functions.
![Page 57: Chapter 2 Structure and function of nucleic acid](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022081418/5681377b550346895d9f149f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
5. Molecule hybridization 分子杂交• During the course of lowing down denatu
ring temperature, between different resource DNAs or single stand DNA and mRNA with complementary bases will repair into a double strands to form a hybrid DNA or DNA-RNA . This course is called molecule hybridization.
