1 From Gene to Protein How Genes Work

2 Wht do genes code for? How does DNA code for cells & bodies? how re cells nd bodies mde from the instructions in DNA DNA proteins cells bodies

3 The Centrl Dogm Flow of genetic informtion in cell How do we move informtion from DNA to proteins? DNA RNA protein trit repliction DNA gets ll the glory, but proteins do ll the work!

4 Metbolism tught us bout genes Inheritnce of metbolic diseses suggested tht genes coded for enzymes ech disese (phenotype) is cused by non-functionl gene product lck of n enzyme Ty schs PKU (phenylketonuri) lbinism Am I just the sum of my proteins? metbolic pthwy disese disese disese disese A B C D E enzyme 1 enzyme 2 enzyme 3 enzyme 4

5 Bedle & Ttum one gene : one enzyme hypothesis George Bedle Edwrd Ttum "for their discovery tht genes ct by regulting definite chemicl events"
