Children's Hospital program

Class,

Here's the link to the program a children's hospital that I told you about in class.  Let me know if you are thinking of doing this, just so I can keep track.

Remember, I'm asking you to read section 15.4 for class tomorrow (2-24).

See you tomorrow!

This DNAi site has a lot of useful information, from replication to translation.  Check these out to review whichever process where you need help.  Go to the section on code.

DNA origami

Some people needed additional copies of the DNA model.  It is on this site (in the box on the right).  You cna show me a finished copy of the DNA molecule by Friday.

DNA animations!

Here's the site for the DNA animations that I used in class.  Although this is linked to the replication animation, the section on DNA structure is also useful.

DNA MODEL

Here's the DNA model requirements for Tuesday's class project.

“Watson and Crick were using a different way to discern DNA’s structure:  ...
...Modeling.”
Neccessary
1.  representation of nitrogen bases, sugar, phosphate
2.  proper connection patterns
2.  Recognition of antiparallel strands.
4.  ability to show unzipping of molecule

not necessary (but optional)
    -twisting pattern
    -3D shape
    -hydrogen bonding

Should not be included
-atomic pattern
