Microbial Proteins and Nucleic Acids

Molecular classification
Protein, Nucleic Acid
01

Overview

Microbial proteins and nucleic acids are essential macromolecules in microorganisms, responsible for structural integrity, metabolic functions, genetic information storage, and gene expression. When exposed to free iodine (I₂), these molecules can undergo oxidative disruption—a process that underpins the antimicrobial action of iodine-based disinfectants.
