This is a general picture of a paramyxovirus (which mumps is a member of). It should really help. As for the enzymes, I'll leave that up to you! (Hint: look at the pic in the above link properly!)

Answer 2

Mumps is an acute, contagious, systemic viral disease, usually causing painful enlargement of the salivary glands, most commonly the parotids. Complications may include orchitis, meningoencephalitis, and pancreatitis. Diagnosis is usually clinical. Treatment is supportive. Vaccination is highly effective.
The causative agent, a "paramyxovirus", is spread by droplets or saliva. The virus probably enters through the nose or mouth. It is in saliva up to 6 days before salivary gland swelling appears. It is also in blood and urine and in CSF if there is CNS involvement. One attack usually confers permanent immunity.
