Answer:

Amino acids are building blocks to proteins, and the combination and order of them determines what protein is actually being built. Then enzymes are a type of protein which facilitates or catalyses a process, such as the breaking down of molecules in your food. In a viral takeover, the virus uses your body's ribosomes to create viral proteins (consisting of amino acids). Viral enzymes actualy facilitate this by inserting viral DNA into the hostcell's DNA.
