A biological motor used to package double-stranded (ds) DNA into viral capsids is able to exert 50 pN of force. A. If the active site has a surface area of 10^-17 m2 , to what pressure can the biological motor package dsDNA within the viral capsid before stalling? B.If the viral capsid has a radius of 30 nm, how much potential energy is stored due to the pressure-confinement of the dsDNA within the capsid? C. Compare this to thermal energy at room temperature, kBT, where kB=1.38*10^-23 J/K is the Boltzmann constant.

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.
