There is approximately 100-155 fg/cell of protein and ~20 fg/cell of RNA based on Cox, R.A. (2004) Quantitative relationships for specific growth ratios and macromolecular compositions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and Escherichia coli B/r: an integrative theoretical approach. Microbiology. 150:1413-26.

As a side, there is also ~4.2 fg/cell of DNA based on Kubitschek, HE and Friedman, MC (1971) Chromosome replication and the division cycle of Escherichia coli B/r. Journal of Bacteriology. 107:95-99.

What is the correct order dna-RNA-protein or dna-protein-RNA or RNA-protein-dna?

It's DNA - RNA - protein. DNA encoding a gene is transcribed to mRNA or messenger RNA by RNA polymerase. The RNA is then translated into a protein sequences at the ribosome. tRNA's or transfer RNA's act like a dictionary for the translation. They can recognize a code of three nucleotides (a codon) in the RNA and bring the corresponding amino acid to the right place at the ribosome, where it is ligated to the rest of the protein. A protein is a chain of amino acids. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dogma

Where is DNA changes to RNA?

DNA changes to RNA when the nucleus is going through protein synthesis. in order for your ribosomes to make protein they must copy a portion of your DNA, change it into RNA then translate the RNA into amino acid sequences which come all together to make a protein ...


What is an exon's role in DNA?

The exon codes for the opening sequence of DNA for protein synthesis. It is a sequence of nucleotides that code for the RNA to begin transcription of the DNA to RNA protein.
