Evolutionary Analysis Chapter 1 Notes 2023 updated to passHIV - correct answer An intracellular parasite incapable of reproducing on its own. It invades specific types of cells in the human immune system. The virus makes copies of itself by hijacking the host's cells and killing those cells off in the process. Virion - correct answer Extracellular form of a virus Coreceptor inhibitors - correct answer Bar HIV from entering host cells in the first place by preventing them from latching onto the host cell's CCR5 molecules Fusion inhibitors - correct answer Bar HIV from entering host cells by interfering with HIV's gp120 or gp41 proteins Reverse transcriptase inhibitors - correct answer Some inhibit reverse transcriptase by mimicking the normal building blocks of DNA. Others inhibit reverse transcriptase by interfering with the enzyme's active site Integrase inhibitors - correct answer These block HIV's integrase from inserting HIV's DNA into the host genome, preventing the transcription of new viral RNAs Protease inhibitors - correct answer Prevent HIV's protease enzyme from cleaving viral precursor proteins to produce mature components for new virions
