retroviral
rt roh viral
re tro viral
الفيروسات عكسيه
virus that uses RNA as its genomic material. Upon infection with a retrovirus, a cell converts the retroviral RNA into DNA, which in turn is inserted into the DNA of the host cell. The cell then produces more retroviruses, which infect other cells

glycoprotein
molecules that comprise protein and carbohydrate chains that are involved in many physiological functions including immunity. Many viruses have glycoproteins that help them enter bodily cells, but can also serve to be important therapeutic or preventative targets
Matrix Proteins
maih trx

a protein that forms layer on the inside of the viral envelope. Matrix proteins play important roles in virus assembly, as they form links or bridge between nucleocapsids/cores and the envelope
capsid

cap sid
the protein shell of a virus, enclosing its genetic materia

integrase
N tea grase
inte grase
An enzyme found in HIV (and other retroviruses). HIV uses integrase to insert (integrate) its viral DNA into the DNA of the host CD4 cell. Integration is a crucial step in the HIV life cycle and is blocked by a class of antiretroviral (ARV) HIV drugs called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs).
polymerase
pol M rase
an enzyme
synthesizes long chains of polymers or nucleic acids
