Next-generation antibiotics can use light to

We are still trying very hard to find solutions to combat disease as well as to improve antibiotics, a list of antibiotic-free bacteria that are getting longer and scientists. will have to work more. And it seems that we have made landmark progress with a sustainable solution.

Scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands are conducting tests on a new technique, which, with only a few tricks, can stimulate antibodies. The idea is that scientists will create "smart" antibodies that can react to both light and temperature. That way, it can be "switched on / off" at will, which helps to protect beneficial bacteria from unnecessary effects and "turn off" the remaining antibodies that can be used to Increases resistance.

Some antibodies are made to bind and block enzymes that help bacteria survive. This means that they must have a special shape to be effectively prevented - because only a small change in shape can make it useless. The antibodies that researchers at Groningen University use are called "quinolones" , often shaped like the letter C. When they are exposed to light or heat, their shape will turn into letters. Z. And then they will become harmless products, and bacteria cannot rely on them to resist themselves.

The next step is to create antibodies that can react with ultraviolet and infrared, which are light and heat sources that can "turn on / off" antibodies as needed. It is hoped that this method will soon succeed and be applied widely, because we cannot know how the virus will change in any way.
