You are studying RNA viruses and have discovered a new one that grows well in a culture of eukaryotic cells. You know that the virus is a single-stranded RNA virus, but you don’t know if it is plus or minus stranded. Your lab-mate says, “Well, just treat your cell culture with cyclohexamide and see if the virus replicates its genome.” You know that cyclohexamide inhibits protein elongation by binding to eukaryotic ribosomes. What is the basis of your lab-mate’s suggestion?
