CENTRAL DOGMA?? Central dogma is basically the flow of information in the cell starting at DNA, which replicates to form more DNA. Information is then ‘transcribed” into RNA, and then it is “translated” into protein.
DICOVERER OF CENTRAL DOGMA Francis Crick 1958
REASON WHY CRICK CALLED IT CENTRAL DOGMA Francis Crick stated; " I called this idea the central dogma, for two reasons, I suspect. I had already used the obvious word hypothesis in the sequence hypothesis, and in addition I wanted to suggest that this new assumption was more central and more powerful."

FUNCTIONS OF PROTEIN
DNA REPLICATION “It is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division” PURPOSE: T o produce two identical copies of a DNA molecule E ssential for cell division during growth or repair of damaged tissues
STEPS OF DNA REPLICATION
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Production of proteins. C onsists of two processes —transcription and translation . These two processes are summed up by the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA → Protein . During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs and then the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to make a protein.
TRANSCRIPTION P rocess by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA ). Occurs: nucleus Transcription is carried out by: A n enzyme RNA polymerase A ccessory proteins transcription factors PROCESS
TRANSLATION P rocess by which the genetic code contained within mRNA is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain . O ccurs : ribosomes Carried out by: Enzymes: Aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase & Peptidyl transferase Factors: Elongation factors Initiation factor Translocase elongation factor Release factor PROCESS
Reverse transcriptase
Reverse transcription as an exception to central dogma (REASON):
PROCESS OF REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION
PRIONS Prions : M isfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants of the same protein . They characterize several fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative diseases in humans and many other animals.
PRION AS AN EXCEPTION TO CENTRAL DOGMA P rion agent is a self-replicating protein and this does not fit with our modern understanding of proteins. "A self-replicating protein" is a major violation of the "Central Dogma", which says that only nucleic acids can "self-replicate ". These proteins actually directly replicate themselves by making conformational changes in other proteins.
