Garrod’s HypothesisIn 1902,published a study linking genesand proteins.- studied the disease alkaptonuriaand hypothesized that a defectiveenzyme caused an “inborn error ofmetabolism” along a reactionpathway
If there is an accumulation of Substance B then enzyme 2 mustbe defective.
The disease alcaptonuria causes a patient’s urineto turn black when it is exposed to air.This colour change is due to the build-up ofhomogentisic acid, an intermediate moleculeproduced during the catabolism of the amino acidphenylalanine.
He reached the conclusions: Disease caused by a recessiveinheritance factor. Having this factor would result in theproduction of the defective enzyme. This conclusion laid the foundationsfor demonstrating a link betweengenes and proteins.
Beadle and Tatum 33 years later, they workedwith bread mold Neurosporacrassa & exposed spores to xrays to create mutant strains.Through their experimentsthey concluded: a gene actsby directing the production ofonly one enzyme - called theone gene-one enzymehypothesis.
In 1941 They used the bread mold Neurospora crassa toinvestigate whether one gene controlled theproduction of one enzyme or multiple enzymes. Normal, wild-type N. crassa can grow onminimal medium.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1One-Gene/One-PolypeptideHypothesisBeadle and Tatum concluded that one gene codesfor one enzyme. This relationship was updated tothe one-gene/one-polypeptide hypothesis, sincenot all proteins are enzymes.
Vernon Ingram by using Beadle and Tatum’s work, he showedthat sickle cell anemia results from alterationof a single gene . Many hereditary diseaseshave been traced to this type of alteration injust one gene.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1Finding a Messenger betweenDNA and Proteins In 1953, Frederick Sanger showed that eachprotein had a specific amino acid sequence. In 1961, François Jacob and JacquesMonod hypothesized that a special type ofRNA, called messenger RNA (mRNA), issynthesized from DNA. Messenger RNA is complementary to DNAand provides the amino acid sequenceinformation for protein synthesis.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1The Genetic CodeThe genetic code is a set of rules for determining how geneticinformation in the form of a nucleotide sequence is converted toan amino acid sequence of a protein.Researchers identified four nucleotides in RNA (A, U, G, and C)and 20 amino acids. Mathematically, there could not be a one-toone relationship between nucleotides and amino acids, nor couldthere be just two nucleotides per amino acid.The triplet hypothesis states that the genetic code consists of acombination of three nucleotides, called a codon. Each codonwould code for an amino acid. This hypothesis was supported bywork done by Francis Crick and Sydney Brenner, which showedthat the code is read in triplets.Continued

UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1Determining the Genetic CodeBetween 1961 and 1965, researchers comparedartificially synthesized RNA of known nucleotidesequences with the amino acid sequences ofpolypeptides, determining the MRNA codons andtheir corresponding animo acids.*AUG is an initiator codon.It also codes for the aminoacid methionine.** UAA, UAG, and UGAare terminator codons.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1Summarizing the Genetic CodeThe genetic code has three importantcharacteristics. It is: redundant: more than one codon can code for the same amino acid continuous: the code is read as a series of three-letter codons universal: almost all organisms build proteins with the same genetic code. Forexample, a codon in a fruit fly codes for the same amino acid asin a human.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1Gene ExpressionGene expression refers to the transfer ofgenetic information from DNA to RNA toprotein. This theory is called the centraldogma of genetics.
UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene ExpressionSection 6.1Gene ExpressionThe two steps in gene expression are transcriptionand translation. In transcription, a DNA sequence serves as a template for the synthesis of RNA.In translation, an mRNA sequence serves as a template for the synthesis of aprotein.Transcription of a DNA template produces anRNA molecule that is a copy of the geneticinformation. The nucleotide sequence of thisRNA molecule is then translated using thegenetic code so that the protein coded for by thegene is produced.
One-Gene/One-Polypeptide Hypothesis Beadle and Tatum concluded that one gene codes for one enzyme. This relationship was updated to the one-gene/one-polypeptide hypothesis, since not all proteins are enzymes. UNIT 3 Chapter 6: Gene Expression Section 6.1
One Gene-One Enzyme Hypothesis (Beadle & Tatum) The function of a gene is to dictate the production of a specific enzyme One Gene—One Enzyme but not all proteins are enzymes those proteins are coded by genes too One Gene—One Protein but many proteins are composed of several polypeptides, each of which has its own gene One Gene—One Polypeptide
Question #1: What is the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity? 1. Set up 3 fresh cups of 1% H 2 O 2 that are 4 cm deep. 2. Begin with the enzyme solution. Make a dilution of the enzyme so that you have 3 strengths of enzyme: one at 200% enzyme strength ( 4 mL solution), one at
It is always best to check the enzyme activity in advance. In the ICT support there is a datalogging sheet on monitoring an enzyme-catalysed reaction. The Core Practical requires investigation of enzyme and substrate concentration. Having completed the practical investigating enzyme conc

Barley variety, pre-harvest sprouting and methods of malting, kilning and mashing may all influence endogenous enzyme levels. Exogenous enzyme mixtures can correct issues like stuck mashes and low extract .
