Suppose that you isolated an enveloped helical RNA virus. Purified RNA from this virus is capable of supporting translation in a rabbit reticulocyte cellfree 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.

Why do you suppose an animal virus grown in (and then isolated from) tissue culture might be more susceptible to inactivation by antibody than a similar virus propagated (and then isolated from) in an animal? Assume you do the assay by isolating the viruses grown in these two different environments from antibody and then seek to compare in a controlled environment, which virus particle is inactivated more readily by the presence of appropriate antibody.

You have purified genomic RNA from the following viruses: Zika, and murine leukemia viruses. You performed an experiment where susceptible, permissive cells were separately transfected with one pure molecule of viral RNA. Which RNA will lead to a productive viral infection? Discuss the reasons why one RNA succeeds and the other fails. Be clear and convincing

A bacterium isolated from sewage sludge was recently found to be capable of anoxygenic photosynthesis using nitrite as the electron donor, converting it to nitrate. Compare this form of nitrification to that which is well characterized. By removing nitrite from the environment, what other processes within the nitrogen cycle might this bacterium be influencing?

Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 1000 students. Determine a differential equation governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between the number of students with the flu and the number of students who have not yet been exposed to it

You have discovered a new virus that contains only RNA as its genetic material. Curious as to how this virus works, you infect host cells with this virus and discover that after infection, the host cell makes lots of viral RNA molecules and various viral proteins. Upon further examination, you discover that the viral genome has been inserted into the host genome as DNA. These are the steps of the information flow for this virus. Each arrow represents a process...

You purified the plasmid from an overnight cell culture and dissolved the plasmid DNA in 100 μL 0.1M Tris buffer (pH8). To quantify the plasmid, you took an absorbance measurement at 260 nm of a 1:50 dilution sample. The absorbance was 0.35. What is the concentration of the undiluted plasmid in micrograms per mL?

You have isolated what appears to be an intracellular parasite from a blood culture from a human case of chronic fatigue syndrome in Chester County , Pennsylvania. Electron microscopic studies indicated that the isolate looks like a virus, but the results are not conclusive. Your virology/bacteriology training makes you believe that this isolate is either a new virus or a coxiella. Your virology professor tells you that your isolate is not a bacterium.. How would you go about to establish...

You have isolated a single celled organism from an infection that you believe is a bacterium. You would like to identify if that microbe is really a bacterium and not a eukaryote. Provide ten physical differences that you would be able to use to distinguish between a prokaryote and a eukaryote. (A Table comparison would be an appropriate format for your answer.) The following table is a comparison of prokaryote and eukaryote physical structures. Physical Structure: Prokaryote Eukaryote Flagellum Size...
