Lec 1-5 - Virology Flashcards
animal viruses are between blank and blank in diameter
25-300 nm
classic EM technique to look at viruses
negative staining
new EM technique to look at viruses
cryoEM
viral genome can be blank or blank but not both
dna, rna
viral genome is blank stranded
single or double
positive polarity viral genome means blank but a virus can be negative polar as well
message sense
these viruses are infectious on their own
dna, positive stranded rna
all rna viruses except those with sing strand positive polarity genome requires a blank to become infectious
virion
where the genome is in a virus
core
protein shell encasing viral genome
capsid
capsid with genome of virus
nucleocapsid
lipid bilayer with viral proteins inserted
envelope
viral glycoproteins in the envelope called spike
peplomer
infections viral particle
virion
every virus has a blank that surrounds the blank and is usually icosahedral or helical
capsid, genome
if a virus has a blank, it is derived from a blank
envelope, host cell membrane
classification of viruses based on structure
family, sub family, genus, species
dna viruses are all blank excepto for parvoviruses
double stranded
there are no blank shape animal viruses
naked helical
all viruses are blank
haploid
all retroviruses are blank
diploid
steps of virus growth cycle
attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, maturation/release
viruses are known as blank parasites because they need the cell to replicate
obligate intracellular parasites
viruses are replicated by blank… not by binary fission
assembly line kind of
dna codes for rna primed rna polymerase to create a negative strand in blank replication
positive ss rna replication
rna primed rna polymerase makes complement positive strand which can go into the genome or function as a message to make more protein… must be converted to positive
negative ss rna replication
replication where ds intermediate integrates into cell dna
retrovirus replication
this replication also requires a virion rna polymerase
ds rna polymerase
first step of this replication is to convert it to dsDNA
ss DNA
