👉 A molecular weapon is a toxic or lethal agent that operates at the molecular level, often designed to target specific biological systems or molecules within an organism. Unlike traditional chemical or biological weapons, these agents exploit the intricate chemistry of life, such as disrupting DNA replication, interfering with protein synthesis, or damaging cell membranes. They can be engineered to be highly specific, minimizing harm to non-target organisms while maximizing effects on the intended victims. This precision makes them particularly insidious, as they can cause severe damage with minimal quantity, and their development often involves advanced knowledge in biochemistry and molecular biology.
