Of the six categories of inhibition, (inhibition of cell wall synthesis, inhibition of protein synthesis, disruption of cytoplasmic membrane, inhibition of general metabolic pathway, inhibition of DNA or RNA synthesis, or inhibition of pathogens attachment or entry into host cell) which would be effective against viruses? Which would be practical to use?
In antiviral therapy inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis, and inhibition of pathogens attachment and penetration into host cell are used commonly. Among all stratergies to prevent attachment and penetration is most effective and practical as well. There is no cell wall and cell membrane around viral genetic material.

When the term parenteral is used in regards to drug administration, this applies to drugs administered _____ (choose all that apply). Select one or more: a. intravenously b. orally c. intramuscularly d. topically Protein synthesis occurs in all living cells. Why, then, are some antimicrobial drugs that target protein synthesis selectively toxic to bacteria? Select one: a. The protein synthesis in human cells occurs less frequently than that in bacterial cells. b. The ribosomes found in human cells and those...
Zithromycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. However, it cannot cross gram-negative bacteria cell walls. Would you expect zithromycin to be broad or narrow spectrum? Why? Amphotericin B disrupts the plasma membrane by binding to sterols. Why can’t it be used to treat bacterial infections? Match the following processes with the statements listed below. (Answers may be used more than once.) a. transcription b. translation c. DNA replication Ciprofloxacin inhibits DNA helicase. Which process is inhibited? _______________ RCT is a nucleotide substitute for uracil. Which process is inhibited? ___________ Tetracycline...

Use A for true and B for false. 13) Glucose has 5 carbons 14) Cysteine and Glutamine are cuamples of nitrogenous bases of DNA 15) The phosphate in DNA is attached to the third carbon of the sugar. 16) Water is formed during the synthesis of lipids 17) Glycogen is an example of a carbohydrate.

1. The virus hijacks the cell, and RNA polymerases produce the complement to the positive stranded RNA genome. We can call these strands negative strands, and they then serve as templates for RNA polymerases to produce their complement. How does the sequence of these strands, the complement to the negative strands, compare with the original viral genome? 2-1. RNA polymerases lack proofreading ability. Define proofreading ability and describe its importance in replication of DNA genomes. a. Why is this a...
