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

Biology

zvonat [6]3 years ago

The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.

Conservation of Energy:
As a projectile is launched into the air KE is at its maximum. As the projectile gains altitude PE becomes greater than KE. At the top of its arc, PE is at its maximum. The whole cycle reverses itself on the way down.

4. A soda can has a volume of 0.35 liters and before opened its internal pressure is 30 psi. What
777dan777 [17]

The volume of the gas expansion is 0.71 liters.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

Boyle's law states that the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

where;

  • P₁ = 30 psi
  • V₁ = 0.35 liters
  • P₂ = 1 atm = 14.7 psi

The volume of the gas expansion is calculated as follows;

V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{30 \times 0.35}{14.7} \\\\V_2 = 0.71 \ Liters

Using the DNA sequence below, what would the resulting amino acid sequence be? Be sure to show any necessary steps that lead you
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Notice that many amino acids are represented in the table by more than one codon. For instance, there are six different ways to "write" leucine in the language of mRNA (see if you can find all six).An important point about the genetic code is that it's universal. That is, with minor exceptions, virtually all species (from bacteria to you!) use the genetic code shown above for protein synthesis.
