The Four Nucleosides of DNA
A nucleoside is a sugar, here deoxyribose, plus a base
dA = deoxyadenosine, etc.

Base Pairing
The monomeric units
of nucleic acids are
called nucleotides.
A nucleotide is a phospate,
a sugar, and a purine or a
pyramidine base.

The information content of various species in terms of the number of nucleotides in the
genome. The complete genome sequences were determined in the years as designated.
The increase of the GenBank nucleotide sequence database is also shown together with
the release dates.

Linkage analysis. The relative distance between the disease gene
(D) and a marker (M) can be estimated from the frequency
that both D and M are transmitted together to offspring.

The Protein Folding Problem
Protein Folding Problem
(Sequence 3D Structure)
1 Protein folding is thermodynamically determined
(Anfinsen’s thermodynamic principle)
Protein + Environment
2. Protein folding is a reaction imvolving other
interacting molecules
(Principle of molecular interactions)
Protein + Chaperonins +….
