Why would a drug that damages capsules help treat a viral infection

Biology
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
4 0

Drug that demages capsule is used to treat viral infection because Curing a viral infection  antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.  

Antiviral drugs are currently only effective against a few viral diseases, such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis B and C and HIV – but research is ongoing. A naturally occurring protein, called interferon (which the body produces to help fight viral infections), can now be produced in the laboratory and is used to treat hepatitis C infections.

The flow of air caused by <u>differences in heating </u>and the Coriolis effect creates distinct wind patterns on Earth's surface.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <u>Movement of air or flow of air is caused by pressure or temperature differences and is experienced as wind.</u> When there is a pressure difference between two places, a pressure gradient exists, across which air moves from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure.
  • <em><u>Differences in temperature also causes movement of air or wind know as convection. The air flow caused by temperature difference is observed in the case of sea and land breezes, because of the difference in temperature between the sea and the land.</u></em>
