In the first biological applicativon of bucky ball , chemists at the University of Califorminaat San `F` Francisoc and Santa Barbra made a discovery in ` 1993` that could help I designing drugs to rtreat `AIDS`. The human immunodeficienrcy virus (HIV) that causes AIES reproduces by syntheising a long protein chain , which is cut into smaller segments by an enzymecalled HiV-proteases . ONe way to stop AIDS, then might be to inacivate the enzyme. when the chemists reacted a water-soluble derivative of bucky ball with HIV-protease , they found that itbinds to the portion of th enzyme that would ordinarily clareve the repreouctive protein , preventing the HIV virus from reproducing . Consequently the virus could no bnolgre infect the human cells they had frown in the laboratory . The buycky ball compound itself is not a suitable drug for use against AIDS because of potential side effects and delivery difficaultes , but it does provide a model for the development of such drugs . What is the formula fo the bucky ball ?A. `P_(4)`B. `S_(8)`C. `Ti_(3)`D. `C_(60)`
