Today we covered most of chapter 3, on the (very) basic structure and function of DNA, RNA, and Proteins.
Me discussed important concepts like the central dogma of molecular biology, some of the properties that make DNA a key molecule for life (antiparallelism, complementarity), and some of the roles that RNA has, beyond the transfer of information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
In our next meeting we'll finish chapter 3, with a basic discussion about protein structure and function.
Reminder: We are meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, in Meyer 128, at 8:00 am, to make up for the class that was cancelled on Monday Nov 30th.
