Because by damaging capsids, there is no place for the bad DNA to be stored. So the drug destroys the DNA so no more of the virus can be stored in the body.

Answer:

The drugs that destructs capsid would ultimately results in the destruction of virus's genetic material and inhibits the replication of virus.

Explanation:

A protective coating of viruses, formed of proteins is termed as a capsid. The prime activity of capsid is to safeguard the genetic substance of viruses from nuclease enzymes and to offer attachment with the host cell. Thus, if a drug has an application in damaging viral capsid, the genetic substance would get dissociated by digested enzymes and virus will lose the tendency to proliferate and infect the host cells.

Why was the cow insulin an effective substitute for the human insulin?
Ray Of Light [21]
Pork and beef insulins are similar to human insulin, differing only in one or a few amino acids. However, even a slight difference is enough to elicit an allergic response in some people. To overcome this problem, researchers looked for ways to make insulin that would more closely resemble human insulin.

Streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic Streptomycin, which inhibits protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes and preventi
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

Antibiotic-producing bacteria are generally known to have a mechanism that enables them to be resistant to their own antibiotics. The mechanism that enables them to be resistant to their own antibiotic depends largely on the mode of action of the antibiotic substance.  

Some of the popular mechanisms used by bacteria to counter their own antibiotic substance include a mutation in the target gene, production of enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic compounds, or efflux of the compounds.

<u>In the case of </u><u><em>Streptomyces griseus</em></u><u>, the inactivity of streptomycin has been linked with the production of a phosphatase inhibitor that prevents streptomycin from getting access to the target site. Hence, the organism is not harmed by its own antibiotic.</u>
