2. Suppose that you isolated an enveloped helical RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte cell‑free translation system or in any other such system Further analysis indicates that this virus replication is inhibited if infected cells are incubated with protease inhibitor such as trypsin inhibitor. Based on this information, discuss the mechanism by which this virus replicates its genome in infected susceptible, permissive cells.
