Q

A common method of virus purification is precipitation with ________________ at 4° C overnight

A

polyethylene glycol

17
Q

It requires known nucleic acid sequence for the virus

A

Real-Time PCR Detection of Viral Nucleic Acids

18
Q

damages nucleic acids; crosslinks viral proteins

A

Radiation

19
Q

inactivates some viruses

A

heat

20
Q

preserves viruses

A

cold

renders some viruses susceptible to visible light

A

Photodynamic inactivation

22

amphipathic, thus solublizes membranes and can dissociate noncovalent bonds between viral proteins

A

Detergents

23
Q

an organic solvent, thus damages envelop membranes of viruses
