14.7 A number of antiviral drugs act by preventing viral DNA synthesis. These drugs are typically chemically similar to nucleotides with a modification. For example, the drug may contain all relevant components of a nucleotide, including a proper purine or pyrimidine base, but lack the 3' OH group. How would this modification allow this drug to prevent viral DNA synthesis? A. Once inserted into a growing DNA chain, the drug will not be able to form a normal double-helix, as...
