if you were a scientist developing a drug that would block viral replication, which steps would you block? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question would be: antiviral agents that block any of the steps in the transcription process, since without newly produced RNA, or DNA for the new virions, it would be impossible for the virus to replicate itself and thus spread out to infect further. An example of such a drug is aciclovir, and what they do is inhibit, or prevent, the transcription process, either of DNA, or RNA depending on the invading virus, so that viral proteins cannot be coded for and the new virions cannot be assembled.

These agents usually are nucleotide analogues that mimick the DNA, or RNA, that the virus will need in order to replicate its genetic material for the new viruses. However, since they are not the correct material, these analogues will inhibit correct replication, or further coding, of the genetic material. This in turn will ensure that either no proteins, or weak proteins, will be produced and the virus will be left weakened for the attack of the immune system.

 If you were to develop the drug, you would want it to only stop replication in the virus and NOT in the human. Therefore, you want to only block the steps that are unique to the virus. Don't know if that helps, but it's a start.

How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions

Answers

They lower the activation energy, that is required for a specific process.

The enzyme works like a lock and key, where the lock is the enzyme that gets activated by a molecule the "key". Once they bind to each other the process gets started.

Without enzymes the process would have to occur entirely on it's own.

Answer

By lowering energy of activation of the reaction.


Explanation

High energy produced during the metabolism of reactant to product. Due to the large free energy of activation, the speeds of uncatalyzed biochemical reactions are often exceedingly slow. Enzymes lower this energy of activation so that more molecules have adequate energy to carry into the transition state to speed up the rate of reaction.

What does the brain use to communicate with the rest of the body

Hey there! 

The brain communicates to the rest of the body by the use of neurons. These messengers send or receive certain commands from the body enabling humans to create movement and react.
