Students have asked these similar questions
present the chemical mechanism of the HIV protease. Discuss the mode of action of some inhibitors of this enzyme.
Define the term cytopathic effect and provide one example.
Can the below be added to the answer:  Some common cytopathic effects include: Cell rounding and detachment: The infected cells may become rounded and detach from the underlying surface, leading to cell death and tissue damage. Cell lysis: In lytic infections, the virus utilizes the host cell's resources to produce new virus particles. As a result, the infected cell eventually bursts (lysis), releasing the newly formed viruses, which can go on to infect neighboring cells. Formation of inclusion bodies: Some viruses induce the formation of distinct structures called inclusion bodies within the infected cells. These inclusion bodies are often aggregates of viral proteins or nucleic acids and can be visualized under a microscope. Cell fusion: Certain viruses have the ability to cause infected cells to fuse together, forming multinucleated giant cells. This fusion enhances viral spread and can lead to the destruction of affected tissues. Cellular damage and functional impairment: Viral…
