Document Summary
Against ssdna viruses: how can viruses avoid host defenses, what occurs during the latent period of viral replication, describe rna interference. Sterilization kills all organisms in a substance: list the 4 methods of physical sterilization. Why: i would say ionizing radiation due to the fact that it is used in the medical and food industry which leads me to believe that it must work better. Did it meet the criteria of selective toxicity: paul ehrlich, salvarsan was used to treat and cure syphilis, it was not, because the original salvarsan that he had created contained arsenic in it. Sulfanilamide communicates with microorganisms in a very similar way as this acid. To activate it, this enzymes couples the isonicotinic acyl (from the isoniazid) with nadh to form a complex of the two. This complex binds tightly to ketoenoylreductase (inha) and thereby blocks the natural substrate for the process of fatty acid synthesis.
