What is the lyctic cycle?

I suppose you mean "lytic cycle". It's the reproductive cycle of virus in which upon entering the host, the viral genome directs the host genome to produce viral proteins and after assembly and maturation of viral particles, they get released by host lysis. There is another cycle called lysogenic cycle in which the viral genome integrates with the host instead of causing lysis.


Are viruses infection proteins?

Viruses are made up of proteins (capsid) and genetic material. Virus surface protein interact with its host cell receptors for the entry (1st step in infection). Viral particle can infect the host by inserting their genetic material in to the host genome. Host synthetic machinery produce viral proteins.


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.

What is the mode of action of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs?

Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs inhibit viral replication by incorporating into the viral genome during replication. These analogs lack the necessary functional groups for further elongation of the viral genome, leading to termination of viral replication and inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This disruption ultimately stops the virus from spreading and replicating.

What is productive viral infection?

Viral infections affect health in a number of ways, they destroy your WBC(white blood cells) which are responsible to maintain the defence mechanism of your body, also it can lead to weight loss which is very important factor concerning health care issues, viral infections also lead to high fever and loss of hunger.
