<span>R group (or side chain) is an organic component of amino acids that is unique to each amino acid. </span> <span>Three of the amino acids have basic side chains at neutral pH: arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base and their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, (positive charge). Aspartic acid or aspartate (Asp) and glutamic acid or glutamate (Glu) are acidic amino acids because their side chains have carboxylic acid groups whose pKa's are low enough to lose protons, (negatively charged). The non-polar amino acids contain uncharged functional groups<span> at physiological pH and are incapable of participating in hydrogen bonding. </span></span>

Why would a drug the damages capsids help treat a viral infection
goblinko [34]
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.
