Viruses. At the boundary of life, between the macromolecules (which are not alive) and the prokaryotic cells (which are), lie the viruses and bacteriophages.

Chapter What is a virus? A virus is nucleic acid wrapped in a protein coat Can be DNA or RNA Viruses are considering nonliving because they can’t.

Viruses Dead or alive?

Viral structure Viruses are not cells. Basic structure: Protein coat Nucleic acid core (RNA or DNA) Lipoprotein coat (second coat – only in enveloped viruses)

Virus Categories DNA viruses – stable, do not mutate rapidly Single-stranded or double-stranded Smallpox, Hepatitis B RNA viruses – mutate rapidly, unstable HIV, Rhinovirus

Are viruses alive? Only 1 characteristic of life: reproduction Can only reproduce inside a host cell! Process or reproduction = lytic cycle

Lytic Cycle Virus attaches to host cell’s membrane and injects its nucleic acid into the host cell. The viral nucleic acid takes over protein synthesis, creating new viruses. The host cell bursts, lyses, releasing the newly formed viruses.

Before attachment Attachment Penetration and uncoating Release Assembly Replication
