Enediynes are natural products with potent antitumor properties because they are able to cleave DNA (page 288). Their cytotoxic properties are due tothe enediyne undergoing a cyclization to form a highly reactive diradical intermediate. The intermediate abstracts hydrogen atoms from the backbone of DNA, which triggers its damage. Draw the structure of the diradical intermediate.

TRUE OR FALSE: Mupirocin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Mupirocin is used as a negative control when comparing it with other topical antibacterials in scientific researches. Proteus species are intrinsically resistant to Polymyxin B and Colistin. Crystalluria and aplastic anemia are adverse effects of Sulfonamides. Topoisomerase IV relieves tension generated by helicase during unwinding of the DNA.

Recently, scientists discovered that a rare disorder called polkadotism is caused by a bacterial strain, polkadotiae. Mice injected with this strain (P) develop polka dots on their skin. Heat-killed P bacteria and live D bacteria, a nonvirulent strain, do not produce polka dots when injected separately into mice. However, when a mixture of heat-killed P cells and live D cells were injected together, the mice developed polka dots. What process explains this result? Describe what is happening in the mouse to cause this outcome.
