Review DNA, RNA and ATP and do Worksheet

We'll review the lesson on DNA, RNA and ATP and you'll be doing this worksheet for homework.

Insight into the race for the Nobel Prize

This Guardian Article goes into detail about the story of the discovery of DNA.  Apparently, Franklin arrived at many of the same conclusions as Watson and Crick and while the latter duo did not technically "steal" data, (her data was available if they'd asked her directly) they did use Franklin's data in a "cavalier manner" and without proper credit.  Apparently, they would have arrived at the x-ray data earlier, had Watson bothered to pay attention during a Franklin lecture:

DNA RNA and ATP notes today

story of the discovery of DNA:  From Avery's awesome zombie apocalypse strep experiment to Watson and Crick's brilliant model making.  And don't forget Ms. Rosalind Franklin, who's groundbreaking work on X-ray diffraction on DNA crystals helped Watson and Crick crack the code.

The presentation notes today are here .  It has many details on the three kinds of nucleic acids: DNA, RNA and ATP.  We covered up to the end of DNA and will continue with the other part next day.
FYI , another summary of the discovery of DNA can be found in this link from the Nobel Prize website.

And, for those keeners amongst you, here is the ORIGINAL PAPER from "Nature".  It's super short and quite readable for a groundbreaking scientific paper that revolutionized our ideas of reproduction. They do have a small mention of Wilkin and Franklin along with other researchers at the very end of their paper.

Our lessons so far:

we are getting to the end of the unit.  So review chapter 2
bonds
water properties
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Nucleotides

and Chapter 4.2
DNA Replication

We still need to cover
Chapter 2 Proteins and amino acids

DNA Replication Song

In addition to our origami today, this is the song. Hdog is Hansel and Qdoggy dog dog is Quinton. They were Braverman's performers too.  They know me by a different name.
