The nucleic acid of the virus is DNA or RNA, not both.
Drug development also requires viral nucleic acids.
Pseudotype viruses are created using plasmids that include fragments of viral DNA.
The interaction of these synthetic viruses with immune proteins after they enter host cells provides information on possible medication targets for innovative therapies.
The function of viral nucleic acid:
The storing and expression of genetic information is a major function of nucleic acids.
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, encodes the information that cells require to produce proteins.
