Enzymes are (usually) specific to the substrates they bind to. Thus, each enzyme has one and only one substrate structure they can metabolize, so even substrates with similar structures cannot be broken down by an enzyme specific to one of them.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

C. Nucleic acid synthesis

Explanation:

AZT, azidothymidine, is an antiviral drug used to check the viral population by blocking the process of reproduction. The azidothymidin is particularly effective against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as this drug inhibits the activity of reverse transcriptase which is required for the formation of a DNA copy of the RNA genome of the virus.  

Similarly, Valacyclovir is an antiviral drug that inhibits viral reproduction by blocking the DNA polymerases. The Valacyclovir serves as a prodrug of acyclovir.
