 Replication and new virion formation

Generally all viruses are intracellular parasites,it replicate only after infecting a host cell, corona virus have bigger genome when compared to other viruses such as HIV viruses,influenza viruses,Ebola virus,etc.The genome consist of four structural proteins and eight gens for small accessary proteins and a replicase gene,when corona virus enter in to the cell it's RNA look like messenger RNA(mRNA),which tells the cell what protein to make,as soon as RNA get into the cell protein making machinery begins to starts reading the viral genes,and making the proteins what they describes,after the cell made both proteins RNAs some of the RNA molecules get wrapped up with copies of the neucleocapsid proteins and then they are provided with envelop made of lipids,the assembling process takes place in the cellular work shop called Golgi apparatus,a cell may makes 100-1000 virions in this way,these virions enter other cells or body.

Precautions

If you touch contaminated surface wash your hands,don't touch your mouth eye or nose before washing hands,personal contacts is the most common reason for spreading the disease.

Vaccines 

Vaccine development is underway,it will take at least 12-18 month to get any approved and effective vaccine for COVID-19,it is heard that now a days doctors are using hydroxychloroquinin(the old drug that used for malaria)along with Azithromycin.

Role of protein on ageing

Role of protein on aging Protein which controls the length of telomere are telomerase and a protein complex known as shelterin.a new study by Scripps Reserch Institute (TSRI) discovered a new protein named as TZAP (telomeric zinc associated protein)which decrease the length of telomeres by trimming,telomere is the clock of a biological cell,if it's length is too short the cell cannot multiply,a human cell can divide maximum 50 times,if it increase more, our life span may increase considerably.
Certain proteins undergo oxidisation which are known to be associated with ageing and some age related diseases,when people turn about 80 approximately half of the bady proteins are damaged due to oxidation,the oxidation occurs because of random chemical degradation,that are associated with convention of food particles to enregy( metabolism) .
Protein's misfoldings are another reason for ageing,when native proteins are synthesised in our cells,which is in helical(Alfa helical)structure and…

Why we are getting old?

Why we are getting old?

The answer is simple,the 'errors'.The errors that happening during cell multiplication and by the influences of external factors. Somany  changes happens in DNA every year,most important one is the shortening of telomeres. A telomere is the tail end of chromosomes. The free radical theory of -ageing, which devolved in1950 says that the reactive oxygen species(ROS)  produced during mitochondrial functions react with their DNA (mtDNA)  and other cell organelles, makes sever damage and declined mitochondrial functions that leads us to aging. ROS is produced when mitochondria make energy from food particles,when we eat more the mitochondria produce more energy and more ROS also evolved as by product. So having a comparatively limited amount of diet and  anti oxidant rich food,such as green vegetables fruits etc can increase life span. 
In the year 1961 an American scientist L.Hayflick discovered that human cells have limited capacity to divide. Human cells ar…
