The enzyme is called reverse transcriptase. The class of HIV drugs that block this process are called reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
reverse transcriptase
HIV attacks the immune system. This can have consequences for any part of the body but it is not specifically an attack on the feet.
HIV virus attack to ammune system
HIV does not infect the nervous system but affects it. Since HIV suppresses the immune system, pathogens can attack the nervous system. The virus does not directly attack the nerves.
The enzyme that HIV uses to synthesize DNA on an RNA template is called reverse transcriptase. It catalyzes the conversion of viral RNA into DNA, which is an essential step in the HIV replication cycle.
No.
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.
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.
AZT, also known as zidovudine, is a type of antiretroviral medication that works by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which is needed by the HIV virus to replicate. By inhibiting this enzyme, AZT helps to slow down the progression of HIV/AIDS and reduce the amount of virus in the body.
I have had every symptom of a heart attack, only the doctor told me there was "no enzyme action" in your blood - and it was not a heart attack. - it sure as hell felt like one!
