Size
• Smaller than bacteria• 20-300 nanometres
(nm)

Structure of a Virus
• A virus contains nucleic acid (DNA or RNA)
• Surrounded by a protective coat (capsid)
![Page 7: Viruses Higher Human Biology. Lesson Aims To describe the structure of a virus To examine the process of viral replication](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649ce55503460f949b2535/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Entering the Host Cell
• Different viruses employ different methods of entering the host cell
• Process depends on antigenic sites on the virus binding with certain complementary molecules in the membrane or the specific host cell
• Following binding the nucleic acid is introduced into the host cell

Binding With the Host Cell

Assembly of New Viruses
• Once in the host cell the virus assumes control of the cell’s biochemical machinery
• Host cell supplies energy (ATP), nucleotides, amino acids
• Host then makes many identical copies of viral nucleic acid and protein coats

Release
• Either by LYSIS (bursting of the host cell membrane)
• Or BUDDING (the cell membrane pinches off containing the new viral particle)

Smallpox

Retrovirus
• A retrovirus contains RNA
• It also contains reverse transcriptase an enzyme which produces viral DNA from viral RNA
• The virus can thus replicate itself
![Page 16: Viruses Higher Human Biology. Lesson Aims To describe the structure of a virus To examine the process of viral replication](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649ce55503460f949b2535/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
• AIDS is a retrovirus • It attacks helper T-
lymphocytes • The AIDS virus
attaches itself by glycoprotein on its surface to receptors on the helper T cell surface

AIDS
• The envelope surrounding the HIV particle fuses with the membrane of the helper T-cell and the virus enters the host cell
• Viral DNA becomes incorporated into the host cell’s DNA where it can remain dormant for many years
• Viral mRNA is transcribed and it directs synthesis of new viral particles inside the host cells
• These escape from the infected helper T cell by budding.
• The original T cell’s membrane is left perforated which causes destruction of the cell
