👉 Infectors in biochemistry refer to certain molecules or particles that can cause an organism to become infected with a pathogen. These molecules can include viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microorganisms. They act as carriers of genetic material, potentially transferring infectious genes from one cell to another. In the context of biochemistry, infectors are essential for the replication and spread of diseases within cells, as well as the maintenance of homeostasis in living organisms.
