Chapter 26, Problem 30P
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the retrovirus that causes AIDS. AZT was one of the first drugs designed to interfere with retroviral DNA synthesis. When cells take up AZT, they convert it to AZT-triphosphate. Explain how AZT interferes with DNA synthesis.

- What the best source of sulfide to use on a small scale in the lab? Group of answer choices thiourea H2S NaHS Na2Sarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about sulfur is FALSE? Group of answer choices H2S is the product of an oxygen-depleted ecosystem. In the acid mine drainage reaction, FeS2 is a product. One allotrope of sulfur has the formula S20. In the environment, bacterial oxidation can convert S2− to elemental S or SO42−.arrow_forwardOf the following choices, which is the best reason that most materials DON'T spontaneously combust even though our atmosphere is about 21% oxygen? Group of answer choices The reduction of O2 in the gas phase (O2 + e− → O2−) is spontaneous. The reduction of O2 in acid solution (O2 + H+ + e− → HO2(aq)) is spontaneous. O2 is not a reactant in combustion. The O2 bond dissociation energy is 494 kJ/mol, leading to a high activation energy for combustion.arrow_forward
