Introduction Flashcards
(41 cards)
defined molecular biology as the study of dna
james watson
head of the natural science division of the rockfeller foundation
warren weaver
first to use the term molecular biology
warren weaver
deals with molecular techniques for handling and analysis of nucleic acids
diagnostic molecular biology
discovered dna and extracted nuclein
john friedrich miescher
first to demonstrate bacterial transformation
frederick griffith
type s
virulent
type r
non virulent
implicated that DNA is responsible for bacterial transformation
avery, macleod, mccarty
enzyme that digest proteins
proteases
enzymes that breaks apart RNA
ribonucleases
enzymes that act on DNA
DNases
took the photo 51
rosalind franklin & raymond gosling
studies of DNA’s structure through X-ray diffraction
(X-ray crystallography)
helped confirmed that DNA is the genetic material by performing experiments
alfred hershey and martha chase
performed chromatographic methods about adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine
erwin chargaff
adenine is equal to
thymine
guanine is equal to
cytosine
published in nature, the first correct model of the DNA molecule
james watson and francis crick
utilized franklin’s “photo 51”
james watson and francis crick
they performed the first known successful DNA recombinant experiment
herbert boyer and stanley norman cohen
seperately developed techniques for rapid DNA sequencing
walter gilbert and frederick sanger
invented the pcr technique
kary mullis
presented the zinc finger nucleases
nikola panayot pavletich and carl pabo
