the elongation step of viral DNA replication. The study showed that Acyclovir is phosphorylated into monophosphate purine analog, and remained in the infected cells before being converted into the triphosphate active form by the viral thymidine kinase. Once in this form, DNA polymerase will substitute it for Guanine triphosphate into the viral DNA chain. Due to Acyclovir’s structure, the lack of a second hydroxyl group prevents another residue to be attached and terminates chain growth. This…

My sophomore year chemistry teacher battled colon and breast cancer all throughout my sophomore year. I always felt horrible for her when she had to tell the class of her need to take extended absences due to major surgeries. She is such a positive upbeat woman, even when you could tell she didn’t feel the best, she would greet you at the beginning of class…

Tuberous sclerosis (tuberous sclerosis complex TSC) is a genetic disorder that begins developing in the embryonic phase. Parents carrying the gene have a 50 percent chance of passing the condition on to offspring. Affected individuals carry only one gene inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. There are two known genes associated with TSC. When a copy of one of the two genes is altered, tumors and abnormal tissues grow through the body. Families with a history of TSC, whether parents are…
