myrkkymolekyylejä
Myrkkymolekyylejä, which translates to "poison molecules" in Finnish, is a term used to describe molecules that are toxic to living organisms. These molecules can interfere with essential biological processes, leading to harm or death. The toxicity of a molecule depends on various factors, including its chemical structure, dose, route of exposure, and the susceptibility of the organism.
Many natural substances are myrkkymolekyylejä. For example, certain plants produce toxins to defend themselves against herbivores,
Synthetic myrkkymolekyylejä are also common, often encountered in pesticides, industrial chemicals, and certain pharmaceuticals at toxic
The study of myrkkymolekyylejä falls under the field of toxicology. Toxicologists investigate how these molecules interact
