The nanomachines can be impressive but in the wrong hands, they are the most deadly tool in the world. In this text under observation is the nanomachine that can look like a bacteriophage. The DNA controls the operations of that small robot.
And if that system accidentally transfers too long DNA in some cell. That thing can cause the DNA fills the cell. And that extremely long DNA causes a similar effect to ricin which is one of the most poisonous chemicals in the world. The deadly effect of ricin is that its molecular structure is like may Day Hustle. That molecule fills the mitochondria or cell and denies its metabolism.
There another way, how the molecule can make that action is that. It starts to travel between the structure of the mitochondria. That denies the power production in mitochondria. So the thing is that kinds of molecules are called Ribosome Inactivating Proteins or RIP proteins. in this text, all those proteins are under the title "ricin". If we want to weaponize the nanomachine we can put the RIP protein inside the artificial virus structure.
In every human cell is a mechanism that kills the cell. That cell death will transfer to other cells around dead cells. When the cell is living it sends ions that are the marks that the cell is living. Those ions will travel to other cells and they keep their ion pumps open. When a dead cell touches the cell membrane that removes the electricity from those cells.
The electricity keeps those ion pumps open. The purpose of ion pumps is to feed the cell. And if they are closed the cell cannot get the nutrient.
If there are not those ions. That closes the ion pumps of the cell. And if those ions will not return those closed ion pumps cause the cell is dying to a lack of nutrients. The reason why that mechanism is created is that it protects humans and other cells from virus infections.
The virus that is described is the phage virus. There is the risk that the nanomachine will pull the electricity out of the cell membrane. And that thing closes the ion pumps. This thing makes nanomachines dangerous.
There are two ways how the virus can get into the cell. The first possibility is that the virus will launch its DNA or RNA molecule in the ion pump. Another way is that there is the enzyme that cuts the hole in the cell membrane. At the head of the genome. That thing makes the DNA or RNA travel through the cell membrane.
The genome of the virus is in the nanotube. When the virus touches the cell membrane. The changes in the electricity will release the DNA. The polarity of the electricity at the end of the DNA tube will turn opposite. And when the small flap is opening that genome will jump out like spring.
There is the possibility that the DNA of the virus is so long that it will just fill the cell. And that causes cell death. In some other visions, the enzyme that is used to make the hole in the membrane of the cell will travel through the nucleus of the cell or it can destroy mitochondria. So that thing can cause death, and that makes nanotechnology so dangerous.
