What are Viruses
A virus is a non-cellular particle made
up of genetic material and protein
that can invade living cells.

Retrovirus
Change DNA
into RNA.
Example of a
Retrovirus is
HIV
A typical, "minimal"
retrovirus consists of:
•
an outer envelope which
was derived from the plasma
membrane of its host
•
many copies of an envelope
protein embedded in the lipid
bilayer of its envelope
•
a capsid; a protein shell
containing
•
two molecules of RNA and
•
molecules of the enzyme
reverse transcriptase
