How do HIV drugs halt or slow down the conversion process, what this means in terms of T-cells?
Homework Answers
Ans) HIV attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body. It's known as the CD4 helper cell or T cell. Not only does HIV attack CD4 cells, it also uses the cells to make more of the virus. HIV destroys CD4 cells by using their replication machinery to create new copies of the virus.
- When the HIV enzyme reverse transcriptase uses these faulty building blocks, HIV's genetic material cannot be inserted into the healthy cell. Interrupting this process prevents the virus from replicating in CD4 cells.

7. The HIV protease structure was solved very early in the process of developing anti-HIV drugs. Importantly, the protease was found to be quite similar to proteases like chymotrypsin and trypsin. Compare and contrast the catalytic mechanism and binding properties of chymotrypsin, trypsin, and the HIV protease. Catalitic mechanism chymotryps in this enzyme help digest and works in the intestine to help Break down Large protein molecules

A) HIV functions by infecting healthy CD4+T cells, a type of white blood cell, that are necessary to fight infection. As the virus embeds in a T cell and the immune system produces more of these cells to fight the infection, the virus propagates in an opportunistic manner. Normally, T cells are produced at a rate s and die at a rate d. The virus, when present in the bloodstream as free virus, infect health T cells at a rate...

HIV/Immunodeficiency A 31-year-old HIV-infected woman presents with severe diarrhea and dizziness. She has long- standing HIV disease and her most recent CD4 count was 24 cells/mm3. For approximately 2 years, she has not taken any medications related to her HIV disease. The diarrhea began about 10 days ago and now she is having 10 to 15 watery stools per day, abdominal cramping, and nausea. Physical examination shows a thin female with a temperature of 38.1℃ blood pressure of 86/60 mmHg,...
