Molecular Virology: Clinical Perspectives - Archie Harless - Bog

Viruses are microorganisms that replicate only inside the living cells of an organism, such as animals, plants, and microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea. Molecular virology refers to the study of viruses at the level of nucleic acids and proteins. The proliferation of one or more harmful viruses within the body of a host is called a viral infection. Molecular virology seeks to study cellular function and virus biology in order to develop techniques for inhibiting and treating viral infections. Protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid, and protein-lipid interactions control the structure of virus particles. There are several viruses that can introduce their DNA into the nucleus of the host cell. This book provides comprehensive insights into the clinical perspectives of molecular virology. The topics covered herein deal with the core subjects of this field. Researchers and students in the field of virology will be greatly assisted by this book.
