There are three main forms of DNA structure: A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the most common form found under physiological conditions, having a right-handed double helix with 10.5 base pairs per turn. A-DNA forms under dehydrating conditions and has a wider helix with 11 base pairs per turn. Z-DNA is a left-handed helix that forms with alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences, containing 12 base pairs per turn in a narrow, zig-zag structure. While B-DNA is most prevalent, the structure can vary depending on sequence and environmental conditions.
ATP synthase—also called FoF1 ATPase is the universal protein that terminates oxidative phosphorylation by synthesizing ATP from ADP and phosphate.
ATP Synthase is one of the most important enzymes found in the mitochondria of cells
This document summarizes ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. It describes how electron transport chains in the mitochondria and chloroplasts establish proton gradients across membranes, which are then used by ATP synthase complexes to phosphorylate ADP and produce ATP. Specifically, it outlines how electrons from NADH/FADH2 or water power proton pumping via complex I-IV in mitochondria or photosystems I and II in chloroplasts. The resulting proton gradient drives ATP synthesis when protons flow back through the ATP synthase.
The tryptophan operon regulates the biosynthesis of tryptophan in E. coli through transcriptional attenuation and repression. It contains five genes encoding the enzymes needed to synthesize tryptophan. When tryptophan levels are high, the tryptophan repressor binds to the operator site, preventing transcription. Additionally, a regulatory region can form a terminator stem-loop structure to halt transcription if tryptophan tRNA levels are high during translation of the leader mRNA sequence. However, if tryptophan levels are low, the terminator structure does not form and transcription of the operon proceeds.

This document describes the C4 pathway found in certain plants. It notes that in 1965, researchers discovered that in sugarcane leaves, the primary products of photosynthesis were 4-carbon dicarboxylic acids like malate and aspartate, rather than 3-carbon compounds as in the Calvin cycle. This pathway, known as the Hatch-Slack or C4 cycle, concentrates CO2 in the bundle sheath cells before it enters the Calvin cycle. Plants that use this pathway, called C4 plants, have a Kranz-type leaf anatomy and higher photosynthetic efficiency than C3 plants.
Cryptochrome is a class of flavoprotein that acts as a blue light photoreceptor involved in circadian rhythms in plants and animals. It was first observed in plants in the 1800s but was not identified until the 1980s. Cryptochrome has a similar structure to photolyase but serves different functions.

Nucleosomes are the fundamental repeating subunits of eukaryotic chromatin that package DNA into a compact structure. They are composed of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins, resembling beads on a string. This represents the first order of DNA compaction. Higher orders of compaction involve the nucleosomes winding further to form solenoid fibers, scaffold loops, chromatids, and finally full chromosomes. Nucleosomes allow the long DNA molecules to fit within cell nuclei while also regulating genetic expression.
This document describes the characteristics of different DNA structures - A-DNA, B-DNA, C-DNA, and Z-DNA. It provides details on their helical structure, conditions for formation, dimensions including helix diameter, rise per base pair, and base pairs per turn. Key differences are that A-DNA is the broadest and most compact, B-DNA is the most common, C-DNA is narrow with no grooves, and Z-DNA has a left-handed helical rotation and one deep groove.
This document discusses polyamine synthesis and metabolism. It notes that ornithine and S-adenosylmethionine are precursors for polyamine synthesis. Ornithine decarboxylase converts ornithine to putrescine, and putrescine is then converted to spermidine and spermine with involvement of S-adenosylmethionine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine. Polyamine oxidase can break down polyamines by oxidizing spermine to spermidine and putrescine, which are then excreted. Polyamines are involved in nucleic acid and protein synthesis.
COVALENT MODIFICATION AND ZYMOGEN ACTIVATIONMariya Raju
1) Covalent modifications, both reversible and irreversible, play important roles in regulating enzyme function. Reversible modifications like phosphorylation fine-tune enzyme activity, while irreversible proteolysis activates zymogens into active enzymes.
2) Digestive enzymes like trypsinogen are synthesized as inactive zymogens to avoid unwanted catalysis, then activated through limited and specific proteolysis. This proteolysis removes inhibitory peptide sequences and allows catalytic activity.
3) Activation of zymogens through proteolytic cascades amplifies hormonal signals, allowing a small stimulus to elicit a large response. This cascade activation greatly increases the potency and efficiency of regulation compared to direct hormone binding.
The C3 cycle, also known as the Calvin cycle, occurs in the dark phase of photosynthesis and involves fixing carbon dioxide into organic molecules like glucose. It consists of three main stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration. During fixation, the enzyme rubisco incorporates CO2 into ribulose bisphosphate, producing two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate. These are then reduced using ATP and NADPH in the reduction stage. Finally, the cycle is regenerated as the original ribulose bisphosphate is reformed, allowing it to fix another CO2. The C3 cycle is essential for carbon assimilation in photosynthesis and the primary producer of organic compounds and food energy in plants. It occurs in all photosynthetic organisms
The document summarizes key steps in nitrate assimilation by plants. It discusses how plants reduce nitrate to nitrite and then to ammonium within cells. The ammonium is assimilated through the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase pathway to produce glutamine and other organic nitrogen compounds. Biological nitrogen fixation by symbiotic bacteria is also summarized, including the signaling and nodulation processes that allow nitrogen-fixing bacteria to interact with plant hosts.
This document provides information on sulfur metabolism in plants. It discusses sulfate uptake and transport, sulfur activation through ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase, and sulfate reduction via APS sulfotransferase. Key regulation points are the enzymes ATP sulfurylase, APS reductase, and serine acetyltransferase which can limit the pathways when overexpressed, leading to increased sulfur levels in plants. The document also outlines subcellular compartmentation of sulfur processes between the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and chloroplast.
This document discusses different concepts of genes including:
1. Classical concepts viewed genes as units of heredity, transmission of characters, and mutation.
2. Molecular concepts define genes as the entire nucleic acid sequence required for protein synthesis, including coding and regulatory regions.
3. Genes have a fine structure and can be divided into functional units called cistrons based on complementation testing of mutants.
This document summarizes molecular basis of mutations. It defines mutations as changes in genetic information and describes different types of mutations including point mutations, chromosomal mutations, germline mutations and somatic mutations. It also discusses various mutagens responsible for mutations like chemical mutagens such as alkylating agents, base analogs and reactive oxygen species, and physical mutagens like UV radiation and ionizing radiation. The mechanisms of different mutagens and types of mutations based on their phenotypic effects are also summarized.
This document summarizes three carbon fixation pathways: C3, C4, and CAM. The C3 pathway fixes carbon through the Calvin cycle in one chloroplast type. The C4 pathway fixes carbon through the Hatch and Slack cycle across two chloroplast types. The CAM pathway alternates between acidification at night and deacidification during the day. C4 pathways allow for higher photosynthesis rates compared to C3, while CAM pathways allow succulent plants to conserve water through nighttime stomatal closure.

The document summarizes the Calvin cycle and light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. It describes how photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose. The light reactions generate ATP and NADPH using pigments in the thylakoid membrane, and the Calvin cycle uses these products to fix carbon from carbon dioxide into 3-phosphoglycerate and then reduce it to form glucose and regenerate the starter molecules. The cycle requires 6 turns to produce one glucose molecule from carbon dioxide using a total of 18 ATP and 12 NADPH.
The Calvin cycle, also known as the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, converts carbon dioxide into glucose using a three-stage process of carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration. In C4 plants like maize and sugarcane, the initial product of carbon fixation is a four-carbon compound, oxaloacetate. CAM plants like cacti fix carbon dioxide at night and store it as malic acid to use during the day, avoiding photorespiration and being more water efficient.
The document summarizes eukaryotic DNA replication. It discusses that DNA replication in eukaryotes is more complex than prokaryotes due to larger genome size and chromatin packaging. The key stages of eukaryotic replication are similar to prokaryotes, including origin of replication, formation of replication forks, semiconservative replication and synthesis of leading and lagging strands. However, eukaryotic replication involves additional proteins and is slower due to chromatin remodeling required to access DNA.
The document discusses the electron transport system in chloroplasts. It describes how light is absorbed by photosystems which excites electrons that are passed through an electron transport chain across the thylakoid membrane. This powers the active transport of hydrogen ions, creating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis through photophosphorylation. Two pathways are discussed: non-cyclic electron flow which produces both ATP and NADPH, and cyclic electron flow which only produces ATP without reducing NADP+.
The document summarizes key theories and mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation:
1) Chemiosmotic theory proposed by Peter Mitchell describes how ATP synthesis is coupled to respiration via an electrochemical proton gradient generated by electron transport complexes pumping protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
2) Boyer's binding change mechanism describes how ATP synthase uses the proton gradient to drive the sequential binding and conformational changes of its beta subunits to synthesize ATP.
3) Factors that regulate oxidative phosphorylation include inhibitors that block electron transport complexes or uncouple the proton gradient from ATP synthesis.
The document discusses the chemiosmotic hypothesis, which explains how ATP synthesis is coupled to the electron transport chain. It states that (1) as electrons move through complexes I, III, and IV of the electron transport chain, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, building a proton gradient. (2) This proton gradient provides the energy for ATP synthase (Complex V) to catalyze the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. Specifically, protons reenter the matrix through ATP synthase, driving the rotation of its membrane domain and causing conformational changes that lead to ATP production.
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA by the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex in the mitochondria. PDH is a multi-enzyme complex containing five coenzymes and three enzymes that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. This generates acetyl CoA, NADH, and FADH2, with the NADH and FADH2 contributing to ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. PDH activity is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and end-product inhibition by acetyl CoA and NADH.
1. Oxidative phosphorylation is the process by which cells generate ATP by coupling the electron transport chain to phosphorylation. During this process, protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, generating a proton gradient.
2. Peter Mitchell proposed the chemiosmotic theory to explain how this proton gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. As protons flow back into the matrix through ATP synthase, the energy from their downhill movement is used to phosphorylate ADP into ATP.
3. The chemiosmotic theory states that the electron transport chain pumps protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, creating an electrochemical proton gradient. This proton motive force drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase.
ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using energy from the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It consists of two main parts - F0, which forms a channel for protons to pass through, and F1, which contains the catalytic sites to synthesize ATP. The passage of protons through F0 powers the rotation of F1, which facilitates the formation of ATP from ADP and phosphate at three catalytic binding sites. The overall reaction catalyzed by ATP synthase couples proton translocation across the membrane to ATP synthesis, and is essential for energy production in cells.

ATP SYNTHASE STRUCTURE ATP SYNTHESIS.pptxkarans002001
The document discusses three mechanisms of ATP synthesis: substrate-level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation, and photophosphorylation. It describes ATP synthase, the enzyme complex responsible for synthesizing ATP during oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. ATP synthase consists of two parts, CF1 which protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix and synthesizes ATP, and CFo which forms a channel in the membrane through which protons pass. Uncouplers disrupt phosphorylation by allowing protons to pass through the membrane via the uncoupler rather than the ATP synthase, dissipating the proton gradient without generating ATP.
1. Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm by free ribosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and in the ER and organelles by attached ribosomes in eukaryotes.
2. The process of protein synthesis requires ribosomes, mRNA, tRNA, amino acids, GTP, and various initiation, elongation, and termination factors.
3. Initiation involves assembly of the ribosome and positioning of the start codon in the P site. Elongation is a cyclic process of aminoacyl-tRNA binding, peptide bond formation, and translocation. Termination occurs when a release factor binds to a stop codon and causes hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA.
This document summarizes the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. It describes the roles of initiation factors like IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3 in initiating translation. Elongation requires elongation factors EF-Tu, EF-Ts, and EF-G, which are GTP-binding proteins that help deliver aminoacyl-tRNAs and catalyze peptide bond formation. Termination factors release the completed polypeptide. The document focuses on structural aspects and compares bacterial and mammalian translation mechanisms.
The document summarizes the structure and function of F1Fo ATP synthase, a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes ATP synthesis using an electrochemical proton gradient. It consists of two main components, F1, which protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix and contains the catalytic sites, and Fo, which forms a proton channel embedded in the membrane. During ATP synthesis, protons flow through the Fo channel, causing the central stalk to rotate and drive conformational changes in the F1 catalytic sites that catalyze ATP formation from ADP and phosphate. The rotation mechanism and roles of key subunits like c and a are described.
The document summarizes key aspects of protein synthesis, including the roles of initiation, elongation, and termination factors. Many factors involved are GTP-binding proteins whose conformations change depending on whether GTP or GDP is bound. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) stimulate the release of GDP and binding of GTP to reactivate GTP-binding proteins. Initiation requires initiation factors IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3. Elongation involves elongation factors EF-Tu, EF-Ts, and EF-G, which are GTP-binding proteins that deliver aminoacyl-tRNAs and catalyze translocation.
The document discusses translation and microbial protein production in bacteria. It describes the key steps and components involved in translation initiation, elongation, termination and recycling in prokaryotes. It also discusses how translation is regulated in bacteria during stationary phase through ribosome dimerization and mechanisms to block subunit joining. The document concludes by covering the use of special vectors for expressing foreign genes in E. coli that contain bacterial promoter and ribosome binding sequences to allow for microbial protein production.
Translation and microbial protein productionmithu mehr
This document discusses translation and microbial protein production in bacteria. It covers the key steps of translation initiation, elongation, termination and recycling in prokaryotes. It also discusses the use of special vectors for expressing foreign genes in E. coli, including the importance of promoters, gene fusions, and examples of commonly used promoters like lac, trp and tac. Finally, it outlines some general problems with producing recombinant proteins in E. coli, related both to foreign gene sequences and limitations of E. coli as a host.
Translation is the process by which the information contained in mRNA is used to synthesize proteins. It occurs in the cytoplasm and involves ribosomes, tRNA, and various translation factors. The mRNA binds to the ribosome and is read three nucleotides at a time, known as codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is delivered to the ribosome by tRNA. The amino acids are then linked together to form a polypeptide chain in an elongation process driven by the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. Translation terminates when a stop codon is reached, releasing the complete protein.
Translation involves translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis. It is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA.
This document summarizes the key steps of translation: initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation involves assembly of the ribosomal subunits and initiator tRNA on the mRNA. Elongation consists of aminoacyl-tRNA delivery, peptide bond formation, and translocation. Termination occurs when a stop codon enters the A site, triggering release factors to cleave the polypeptide from tRNA and dissociate the ribosomal subunits.
It is a collection of membrane-embedded proteins and organic molecules, most of them organized into four large complexes labeled I to IV.
The resulting proton gradient is used by the ATP synthase complex for ATP formation.
ATP synthesis is driven by the return of protons to the matrix through an integral membrane protein complex known variously as ATP synthase.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

The mechanism of ATP synthesis by proton-translocating
ATP synthase can be conceptually broken down into three
phases:
1. Translocation of protons carried out by F0.
2. Catalysis of formation of the phosphoanhydride
bond of ATP carried out by F1.
3. Coupling of the dissipation of the proton gradient
with ATP synthesis, which requires interaction of F1 and F0.
4. ARIFA AKBAR ALI
F1 is proposed to have three interacting catalytic protomers,
each in a different conformational state:
one that binds substrates and products loosely (L state),
one that binds them tightly (T state),
and one that does not bind them at all (open or O state).
The free energy released on proton translocation is harnessed to interconvert
these three states.
The phosphoanhydride bond of ATP is synthesized
only in the T state
and ATP is released only in the O state.

1. Binding of ADP and Pi to the “loose” (L) binding
site.
2. A free energy–driven conformational change that
converts the L site to a “tight” (T) binding site that catalyzes the formation of ATP.
This step also involves conformational changes of the other two subunits that
convert the ATP-containing T site to an “open” (O) site and convert the O site to an
L site.
The reaction involves three steps
6. ARIFA AKBAR ALI
3. ATP is synthesized at the T site on one subunit while
ATP dissociates from the O site on another subunit.
On the surface of the active site, the formation of ATP from ADP and Pi
entails little free energy change, that is, the reaction is essentially at
equilibrium.
Consequently, the free energy supplied by the proton flow primarily
facilitates the release of the newly synthesized ATP from the enzyme;
that is, it drives the T & O transition, thereby disrupting the
enzyme–ATP interactions that had previously promoted
the spontaneous formation of ATP from ADP Pi in the
T site.
