What enzyme is referred to as Akt?

Akt is the enzyme which is known as protein kinase B. Its scientific term is thymoma viral proto-oncogene and its particular job is to help promote cellular revival.


What is the role of restriction endonucleases for the bacteria?

It the usefulness of enzyme for which it is named after. As the enzyme restriction endonuclease restrict the entry of foreign DNA in the bacteria. So it can be called a protective mechanism of bacteria and it is believed to be evolved by bacteria to resist viral attack.


Which part of the virus enters the bacteria and produced more viruses?

The virus attaches to the outer cell wall,inserts its DNA. It takes the cells functions over and starts a viral factory.


How does an RNA virus get a viral DNA into a host cells genome?

RNA viruses generally have very high mutation rates as they lack DNA polymerases which can find and fix mistakes, and are therefore unable to conduct DNA repair of damaged genetic material. Retroviruses integrate a DNA intermediate of their RNA genome into the host genome, and therefore have a higher chance of correcting any mistakes in their genome thanks to the action of proof-reading DNA polymerases belonging to the host cell. Also, retroviruses, unlike other single-stranded RNA viruses they use DNA intermediates to replicate. Reverse transcriptase, a viral enzyme that comes from the virus itself after it is uncoated, converts the viral RNA into a complementary strand of DNA, which is copied to produce a double stranded molecule of viral DNA. This DNA goes on to direct the formation of new virions.


How are plasmids helpful to a bacterium?

It is thought that in bacteria a plasmid can be used as a defense mechanism for fighting viruses. When the virus inserts itself to the bacteria, the bacteria can use its enzymes to disconnect the plasmid and carry the viral nucleic acid with it.


Are nucleoside analogs that inhibit DNA synthesis effective against viral diseases?

yes, nucleoside analogues are artificial nucleosides. The block the completion of new viral DNA chains, therefore, preventing the production of new viral bodies. This way the viral enzyme, reverse transcriptase is more likely to incorporate the nucleoside analogue into the DNA than the host's DNA polymerase.
