How The Central Dogma Works

479 Words2 Pages

Have you ever wanted to know how proteins were made? Or how the central dogma works? Well, I’m going to roughly explain the whole process of how DNA turns into a protein, and how the central dogmas process works. There was a scientist named Crick and he decided to do research on what the central dogma is and the process in which it works. He explained it as a process that has multiple steps to make the result, The result being a protein. A different scientist named James Watson had a similar process for it, but his process involved having a shorter process with fewer steps.(Wikipedia,2017)The dogma itself is a sequence of steps that transform a piece of DNA into a piece of protein. The central dogma also has to do with different types of transfers. …show more content…

Transcription is a process that copies a section of DNA and transforms it into a different piece of new RNA. Then that new piece of RNA has to go through a different process that makes a new type of RNA. Transcription also has to through another process called splicing, splicing helps with making new and more different types of molecules. That’s what transcription is but there is also steps to it also, there are three steps in total. Step 1, the transcription process sees the start of a gene and it begins to take apart or unwind the piece of DNA. Step 2, The piece of RNA uses a piece of DNA, then the piece of RNA forms with different pairs based on the DNA. there are multiple different pairs in the process. Then the piece of RNA breaks off and the DNA fixes itself back together. The final step, step 3. As the piece of RNA is being completed it disconnects itself from DNA and the transcription process falls apart on its own.(Book, 2017) That summarizes the steps of what transcription does to make new RNA for the next part of the process. An example of transcription can also occur in different viruses and diseases, it can happen when the RNA makes a new piece of DNA.(Yourgenome.org,2017) Transcription is a very important key role in making a new piece of protein. It is very similar in some ways to the next part of the process because they are connected in some ways. And they both need each other to make the final product. The next step in The dogma is Translation and it’s the final big process in making the protein I’ll explain that

Introduction In the book The Double Helix, by James D. Watson, it explains the journey for James Watson and Francis Crick on finding the deoxyribonucleic acid, or better known as DNA, structure. It was a great book containing a lot of information on the journey. In the book, it contained great information on James Watson's life, Francis Crick's life, reasons they wanted to find the DNA structure, important people to the discovery, and the journey on finding the DNA structure. (Watson, 7-223)

James Watson was interested in protein synthesis because it involved DNA. In the book, he discusses reading biochemical papers in the interrelations of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, (Watson, Loc 1314). The evidence made Watson believe that DNA was the template upon which RNA chains were made and, in turn, RNA chains were the likely candidates for the templates for protein synthesis, (Watson, Loc 1329). He talked about how there was some fuzzy data using sea urchins interpreted as a transformation of DNA into RNA, but he preferred to trust other experiments showing that DNA molecules, once synthesized are very stable, (Watson, Loc 1328). After looking at the papers, he wrote down something that expressed the transfer of genetic information from the sequences of nucleotides in DNA molecules to the sequences of amino acids in proteins, (Watson, Loc 1328).

This process is carried out by enzymes called DNA polymerases. Moreover, DNA chromosomes are depicted as X-shaped structures and when replicated chromosomes are highly condensed and appear in an X shape. In the nucleus, DNA forms a complex with proteins which is translated by mRNA and mRNA is created from DNA by the process transcription. This complex is called chromatin and is formed when the DNA wraps around nuclear proteins. In conclusion, with the chemical structure of DNA is very complex and researchers such as Oswald Avery, Frederick Griffith and Hershey-Chase has conducted experiments using

In early 1950’s, James Watson and Francis Crick have also investigated the structure of DNA. However this time, the structural model of DNA is formed. On their investigation, they compiled and analyzed all the existing study about the structure of DNA rather than conducting an experiment in a laboratory. Some works that they used as added idea in creating the model are the Chargaff’s rule and Franklin’s “X-ray Crystallography image of DNA.” Their final output is a “DNA Double Helix Model.”

After the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 by Francis Crick, James Watson, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, Gamow attempted to solve the problem of how the order of the four different kinds of bases (adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine) in DNA chains could control the synthesis of proteins from amino acids.[27] Crick has said[28] that Gamow's suggestions helped him in his own thinking about the problem. As related by Crick,[29] Gamow suggested that the twenty combinations[30] of four DNA bases taken three at a time corresponded to the twenty amino acids that form proteins. This led Crick and Watson to enumerate the twenty amino acids common to proteins. Gamow's contribution to solving the problem of genetic coding gave rise to important models of biological degeneracy.

Introduction The Double Helix, by James Watson, was about how two men, named Francis Crick and James Watson, found a structure of DNA. It took them many times to come up with something. They had to work really hard and be dedicated to this experiment/project. Every time they thought that they had found something, they would send it to another country, or get a scientist to come in and tell them what was wrong and what to improve.

The first step of the process is to design a strand of gRNA to search for and bind to a specific sequence in the genome. The reason the gRNA is able to bind to the DNA sequence because of the pre-determined complementary base pairs (AUGC) to the DNA. The thought behind pre-determining the bases in the RNA is to improve the accuracy of the technique because only certain pairs can bind with each other. The next step in the process is the Cas9 enzyme then follows the gRNA to the location in the DNA sequence and once bonded makes a cut across both strands of the DNA. Once the cut is performed the cell then

The newly made mRNA strand travels out of the nucleus to a ribosome where the directions can be made into a protein. A ribosome is composed of one large and one small subunit that assemble around the mRNA. The mRNA now passes through the ribosome. Now, amino acid building blocks are carried into the ribosome attached to specific transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. The small subunit of the ribosome arranges the mRNA so that it can be read it segments of 3 nucleotides.
