Review: Reading Assignments 1 & 2
? Reading assignment 1
- Protein folding: Mean = 17.3 STD = 2.1 MAX = 20 MIN = 12 - Fluorescence microscopy: Mean = 17.2 STD = 2.1 MAX = 20 MIN = 12
? Reading assignment 2
- Cell motility: Mean = 17.5 STD = 1.3 MAX = 20 MIN = 15 - Molecular motors: Mean = 16.9 STD = 1.2 MAX = 20 MIN = 15
? Comments
- Design a clear/logical structure for your presentation. Avoid simple clustering of technical details.
- Make efforts to ensure accuracy and rigor in your presentation.

The Problem
? Spacing between base pairs 3.4? ? For human genome, approximately 3.2 billion
base pairs ? Total length 3.4?10-10?3.2?109?2 2.2m ? Diameter of a nucleus: 5~10?10-6m ? Access to genetic information must be
regulated.
5
Chromosome Organization in the Cell Cycle
? DNA are packaged with associated proteins into chromosomes.
? Chromosomes undergo dramatic reorganization when cells divide.

Chromosome Related Nomenclature (I)
? Chromatin: the complex of DNA, histones, and nonhistone proteins within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (DNA persistence length ~50nm). The material of which chromosomes are made.
? Chromatid: one of the two copies of a replicated chromosome that is joined at the centromere to the other copy. The two identical chromatids are called sister chromatids.
? Centromere: the chromosomal region that holds sister chromatids together and where the kinetochore forms.
7
Chromosome Related Nomenclature (II)
? Kinetochore: the centromeric substructure that binds microtubules and directs chromosome movement in mitosis.
? Gene: a segment of DNA encoding a functional RNA or protein product.
