Which is the enzyme that HIV uses to synthesize DNA on an RNA template?
This is reverse transcriptase. HIV drugs that block this part of the HIV lifecycle are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
What enzyme turns HIV rna into HIV DNA?
The enzyme is called reverse transcriptase. The class of HIV drugs that block this process are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
What is the classification for videx?
Videx (didanosine) is classified as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). It is used in the treatment of HIV infection.
Retrovirus such as HIV contain an enzyme called?
reverse transcriptase
Antivirals that target reverse transcriptase would be used to treat?
HIV
Retroviruses such as HIV contains what enzyme that enables DNA to be synthesized from rna?
by using reverse transcriptase to help produce double stranded DNA from viral RNA
What HIV enzyme is essential for its successful replication in a host cell?
Reverse transcriptase is the enzyme that permits the HIV virus to enter the cell. There are other human diseases that are also caused by other viruses using a reverse transcriptase.
Which enzyme are retroviruses equiped with that allows them to transcribe DNA from an RNA template?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus. A retrovirus is a RNA virus that replicates through a DNA intermediate. HIV synthesises DNA from RNA by the action of reverse transcriptase enzyme.
What do you call viruses with the enzyme reverse transcriptase?
Retroviruses are considered a special class of viruses because they transcribe RNA to DNA using reverse transcriptase. HIV uses reverse transcription to synthesize a DNA strand using its RNA genome as a template.
How is nevirapine used to treat HIV infections?
It alters the active site of reverse transcriptase, decreasing that enzyme's activity.
Is a virus an organelle?
enymes----like HIV it has reverse transcriptase
Is it true or false that hiv uses reverse transcriptase to make ds RNA copies of its DNA genome?
true
