What else can I help you with?
What can you conclude about the surface proteins of viruses for which effective vaccines exist?
Effective vaccines usually target specific surface proteins of viruses. These surface proteins are often essential for the virus to infect host cells. By targeting these proteins, vaccines can train the immune system to recognize and fight off the virus more effectively.
What are hbv proteins?
Oh, dude, HBV proteins are just like those cool little guys hanging out in the hepatitis B virus, doing their thing. They're basically the virus's way of being all sneaky and infecting your liver. So, yeah, they're proteins in a virus - not exactly the life of the party, but they get the job done, I guess.
How many virus particles can fit along a 1 millimeter line?
It depends on the size of the virus particles. On average, virus particles range from 20 to 400 nanometers. Assuming an average size of 100 nanometers, one millimeter could fit around 10,000 virus particles end-to-end.
Why is protein synthesis important for cells and viruses?
Protein synthesis is important for viruses because the virus forces the host cell to make proteins that the cell does not need, but the virus does to repoduce. Protein synthesis is important for cells because the proteins are essential for all cellular activites.
How does a virus know what cell to enter?
A virus enters a cell by recognizing specific proteins or receptors on the surface of the target cell that it can bind to. These proteins or receptors are like a lock and key mechanism that allows the virus to gain entry into the cell. Once attached, the virus can then inject its genetic material into the cell to begin the infection process.
How does mRNA lead to new viral particles?
mRNA is a "message" that is transcribed into proteins. The proteins form the capsid and other proteins the virus needs. The virus also needs genetic material so it can propagate in other cells. If a virus is a + strand ssRNA (coding strand, analagous to mRNA) just that RNA could lead to a viral infection.
What part of virus allows it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
What parts of a virus allow it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
Proteins on the outside of the aids virus bind to what?
proteins on the surface of red blood cells

How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?
A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.
What is antigenic drift?
The genome of viruses can mutate over time through a variety of mechanisms. Some viruses are more prone to these mutations than others. When the genome changes, this changes the proteins that are expressed by the virus, included the proteins that are present on the surface of the virus. These proteins are the antigens that are recognised by the host immune system and which trigger the immune response. Antigenic drift is when the genome of the virus mutates thus changing the antigens expressed by the virus. This means that an individual immunized against a virus may not be protected if the virus undergoes antigenic drift as the proteins present of the surface of the virus are not the same as the virus against which the individual was immunized.
Where does an enveloped virus synthesize its proteins?
Viral proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm using the host's enzymes.
What is the purpose of proteins on outer coat of a virus?
To match and dock with proteins on the outside of cells they are going to enter.
What is the protein coat that surounds a virus called?
The envelope.
Why do proteins establish the host range of a virus?
It all depends on what you mean by your question. Both the host cell and the virus have proteins that must match for the virus to enter the cell. The more these match, the greater number of species of plants and animals that will be affected.
