Chapter 9.4, Problem 1RIA
Summary Introduction
A chemical substances that can be used for treating several forms of cancer are called as chemotherapeutic agents. Chemotherapeutic agents can also be used for many therapeutic purpose within the body. Generally, there are five ways in which chemotherapeutic agents can damage or kill bacterial pathogen that include inhibitors of cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis inhibitors,
