👉 A molecule weapon, often referred to as a chemical or biological agent, is a substance that can cause harm when released into the environment or through exposure. These agents can be naturally occurring, like certain bacteria or plants producing toxins, or synthetically created for military or terrorist purposes. They work by disrupting normal biological processes, leading to various effects such as poisoning, tissue damage, or even death. Examples include nerve agents like sarin and VX, which inhibit acetylcholinesterase, enzymes crucial for nerve function, and anthrax spores, which release lethal bacteria when inhaled. The impact of these molecules can be immediate and severe, making them significant threats to public health and national security.
