Why would a drug the damages capsids help treat a viral infection

Biology

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.

How is electricity generated in the simulation?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

(LONG RESPONSE!)

In this work, several simulations and analyses are carried out to investigate the feasibility of generating electricity from underwater sea currents at Istanbul Bosphorus Strait. Bosphorus is a natural canal which forms a border between Europe and Asia by connecting Black Sea and Marmara Sea. The differences in elevation and salinity ratios between these two seas cause strong marine currents. Depending on the morphology of the canal the speed of the flow varies and at some specific locations the energy intensity reaches to sufficient levels where electricity generation by marine current turbines becomes economically feasible.

In this study, several simulations are performed for a 10 MW marine turbine farm/cluster whose location is selected by taking into account several factors such as the canal morphology, current speed and passage of vessels. 360 different simulations are performed for 15 different virtual sea states. Similarly, 8 different configurations are analyzed in order to find the optimum spacing between the turbines. Considering the spatial variations in the current speed within the selected region, the analyses are performed for three different flow speeds corresponding to ±10% change in the average value. For each simulation the annual energy yield and cluster efficiency are calculated.

What is produced during transcription
Westkost [7]
During transcription, RNA molecules re produced, mRNA specifically. Transcription in protein synthesis is when the mRNA is created using the template of DNA. It is the process of transcribing DNA to mRNA which is catalyzed by RNA polymerase. Transcription encompasses manufacturing, splicing, and adding of caps and tales of the mRNA. All of these happen in the nucleus of the cell. <span>Replication, transcription, and translation are three different terms. Replication means duplication of DNA. Transcription is the multiplication or duplication of genetic information into mRNA and translation is protein production through activities of ribosome.
