Learn about the essential steps involved in the SHAKEN process, from attaching the virus to the cell to releasing the viral-nucleic-acid. Discover the role of the cell membrane in the release stage and ensure a successful simulation.
E N D
Part I Introduction to SHAKEN
Attach Penetrate Release Move What if you forgot a step? Missing Penetrate step Can the virus attach to the cell? OK - the location of the virus can be near the cell Can the attach step performed properly? OK - Virus and the cell become attached each other Can the viral-nucleic-acid move to the cytoplasm of the cell? No! - The virus is still outside the cell! • After the viral invasion, is the plasma membrane broken? No! • - There was no step that can break the plasma membrane !
What if you chose wrong objects? Release • Can the viral-nucleic-acid be released? No! • It is not confined in the enclosure (cell membrane) • Question: what role(s) does cell membrane play in Release? • The viral-nucleic-acid is enclosed in the cell membrane when the acid is released unexpected answer! virus cell object The-enclosure has-part has-part viral-nucleic-acid membrane
How Do You Know You Are Done Teaching SHAKEN? • No errors are reported when SHAKEN executes the steps (running the simulation) • You ask a few key questions and the answers are as you expected
