Conceptual Study of Enzymatic Organic Reactions in the Bacteriophage Therapy

Topwe Milongwe Mwene-Mbeja*

In order to neutralize bacteria, bacteriophages hydrolyze chemical constituents of the bacterial cellular membrane, such as phospholipids, glycolipids as well as glycoproteins before reaching the bacterial cytoplasm, an intracellular environment containing water, salts, and a diversity of organic compounds notably ribonucleic acid (RNA) along with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In this perspective, when bacteriophages access the bacterial cytoplasm, they develop and consequently the excessive accumulation of bacteriophages facilitates or smooths the way for bacterial degradation.
