Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Target: CO₂
Molecular classification: Small molecule, Inorganic compound

Overview

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a chemical compound consisting of one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-flammable gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. CO₂ is denser than air and slightly toxic in high concentrations. It plays a crucial role in biological processes like photosynthesis and respiration. While not typically a direct therapeutic target, its levels in the body and environment have significant implications for health and disease.
