Dogma

The original Central Dogma of molecular biology (left) and its modification in light of the discovery of viruses (right). 

Tazettine (73) has gained notoriety siace, subsequent to its isolation from Sprekeliaformosissima or Narcisus ta tta and proof that it was generated in vivo from haemanthamine [466-75-1] (76), ia accord with biosynthetic dogma (52), more careful work (53) ia which the strongly basic... 

FIGURE 11.1 The fundamental process of information transfer in cells. Information encoded in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is transcribed through synthesis of an RNA molecule whose sequence is dictated by the DNA sequence. As the sequence of this RNA is read (as groups of three consecutive nucleotides) by the protein synthesis machinery, it is translated into the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This information tmiisfer system is encapsulated in the dogma DNA RNA protein. 

What Crick called the "central dogma of molecular genetics" says that the function of DNA is to store information and pass it on to RNA. The function of... 

What was the solution The reaction had to be carried out with a diazonium ion labeled with one or two atoms of the nitrogen isotope 15N in the presence of large concentrations of unlabeled nitrogen molecules (14N2), quenched before completion, and the remaining diazonium ion analyzed for 15N content if this had decreased relative to the initial value, the dogma would be falsified. 

We tend to teach chemistry by using certain well established standard items of dogma. .. theoretieal propositional knowledge often dominates school chemistry and symbolic notation becomes a reified account of many facts which have never been observed . 

Kuhn s paper, The Function of Dogma in Scientific Research , also contains a clear statement of his views on scientific pedagogy (Kuhn, 1963, pp. 350, 351) ... 

The hypothesis that our biological world built on the DNA-RNA-protein central dogma was preceded by an RNA world in which RNA molecules carried both the genetic information and executed the gene functions (through ribozyme activity) is now widely accepted [130]. However, it is also well recognized that RNA due to its vulnerability to hydrolysis - especially as a result of catalysis by divalent metal ions - would not have been able to evolve in a harsh pre-biotic environment Also the formation of RNA under presumed pre-biotic conditions is extremely inefficient It is not so far-fetched to propose that a peptide nucleic acid-like molecule may have been able to function as a form of pre-biotic genetic material since it... 

To these ancient identities was added in due course the historical Jesus.It was the apostle Paul who established the dehnitive Christian dogma concerning the nature of Christ. His account recalls the role of the ancient Iranian and Jewish Saviour figure (although the exact relationship to the pagan elements is the subject of serious contention on the part of Christian theology). 

For a Catholic perspective on the dogma of Christ s sacrifice Daly, Ortons of the Christian Doctrine of Sacrifice (1978), 53 IT. Also, for the history of the sacraments of sacrifice and baptism in pagan and Christian rites, specifically the mass and baptism, see E. O. James, Sacrfice and Sacrament (London Thames and Hudson, 1962), 13-27, 104-25, 213-59. 

The Catholic dogma is discussed in Daly, Origins of the Christian Doetrine of Saerfee (1978), 53 ff and also in James, Sacrifice and Saerament (1962), 104-25, 213-59.

Schwenckfeld also had a novel interpretation of the dogma of tran-substantiation, maintaining that it was the body of Christ that was the bread of life, not vice versa. As a result, he rejected the doctrine of transubstantiation, as well as all other sacraments, ceremonies and priests. ...
