Introduction A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. A type of bacteriophage is bacteriophage lambda. This specific bacteriophage infects E. Coli. It is composed of protein and double stranded DNA ¡VdsDNA). The DNA of the phage contains around 50‚000 base pairs and codes for 50 proteins. At both ends of the DNA of the phage‚ there are cohesive ends‚ which are composed of 12 nucleotides. Both ends compliment each other‚ which makes the DNA circular once together. This circular DNA

Type A Influenza Virus Essay Influenza: a virus that replicates‚ mutates‚ spreads among species‚ and the cause of the recent H1N1 scare is definitely an apparent danger to humans today. Type A influenza is an RNA virus that ‘reproduces’ through replication. The virus particles are surrounded by hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) – both are structural glycoproteins attached to the virus’s outside lipid bi-layer. HA serves its function in helping the virus to bind to the sialic acid receptors
