Human virus highly impact human body, due to viruses and infections in body human may die. Virus impact on a related body parts frequently and destroy them to take over on it. Below you can findout the glossary and terms related to virus.
Common terms and glossary of human body viruses are
Antiviral
A compound that inhibits the growth and reproduction of viruses
Antagonist
An agent that acts in physiological opposition
Capsid
The protein in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.
Capsomeres
Substructures of virus particles. Composed of aggregates of polypeptides chains that interact to form the basic structural unit of capsid.
Cloven hoof :
A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divide hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members of the mammalian order Artiodactyla . Examples of mammals that possess this of hoof are cattle, deer, antelopes, gazelles, goats and sheep.
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid , the chemical structure taht contains the genetic information of an organism. The double helical structure is. Made of two strands consisting of deoxyribose and phosphate and is held together by bonds between purine and pyrimidine bases which project inward from chains and form the genetic code.
Gene
A sequence of genetic material taht provides the information to make a specific protein.
Genome:
The entire genetic information of an organisms.
Hexamer :
Any of the clusters of six protein subunits ( capsomerers ) in icosaheral virus capsids.
Envelope
A lipid casing taht surrounds the capsid that covers a virus . viral envelope assists the virus in infiltrating the cells of the host organisms
Eukaryotes
Organisms whose cells pisses a membrane bound structure called a nucleus taht contains the genetic material (DNA)
Foot and Mouth Disease
Foot and mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral vesicular disease of cloven hoofed animals
Matrix protein
A type of protein taht connects the components of the viral envelope to the nucleus.
Neucleocapsids
The composition of a virus that includes the DNA , RNA and the capsids protein cover.
Negative sense RNA
Negative sense RNA viral RNA with a base sequence complementary to taht messenger RNA (mRNA) . the RNA must be converted to positive sense RNA by a viral enzyme called RNA polymerase before translation into protein can occur . Viruses that have a negative sense RNA genomes include influenza and Ebola.
Neuraminidase
A protein found on the surface of influenza viruses that is needed for the virus to exit the host cell and infect more cells. The action of this protein is inhibited by the class of antiviral drugs include the drugs Tamifu . in the system using for naming influenza , the N stands for neuraminidase.
Phage therapy
Phage therapy or viral phage therapy is the therapeutic use of bacteriophage to treat pathogenic infections.
Polyhedron
A solid figure with many plane faces , typically more than six
Positive sense RNA
Virak RNA that has the same base sequence as mRNA which allows it to function as template for protein synthesis during viral replication.
Spike
Surface projection of varying lengths spaced at regular intervals on the viral envelope also called peplomers . consist of viral glycoprotein
Tobacco mosaic virus
Tobaco mosaic virus is a positive sense single stranded RNA virus taht infects a wide range of plants especially tobacco and other members of the family.
Virions
A virus particle , which invades the cells of a host organism, causing infection.
Vaccine
A prepration of killed or weakened microorganism that is administered to produce or increase immunity to a particular disease.
Vesicles
Vesicles are small , fluid filled sacs tht can appear on your skin
Virus like particles
A particles assembled from multiple copies of the capsids protein that , like a virus can produce an immune responses but unlike a virus is nor infectious because it does not contain genetic material
