MICR. 402 Lecture 5 January 17, 2008
Chapter 2 - Virus Replication Bacterial growth - binary fission
Chapter 2 - Virus Replication One step growth curve Latent period time until progeny virus released from infected cells - don't confuse with latency of herpes viruses Eclipse period time when no complete virus inside cells - infectivity = nil if disrupt infected cells
Chapter 2 - Virus Replication What’s happening during eclipse and latent phases? Early protein synthesis Replication of genome Late protein synthesis Assembly of virions Release
Chapter 3 - Genomes Use chapter as reference.
How are genomes protected? - Genomes need to be protected from degradation by RNAses, DNAse, or restriction enzymes, or damage by UV radiation. - Condensation protects against RNAses, DNAse, and also association with proteins is key in protecting the genome.
