Khoom noj khoom haus qib hydrogen peroxide yog qhov ua haujlwm siab thiab dav-ua kom muaj kab mob nyob hauv kev txiav txim ntawm cov tshuaj tua kab mob. Vim tias nws tsis tawm hauv cov chaw muaj teeb meem tom qab tua kab mob thiab ua kom tsis muaj menyuam, nws tau dhau los ua zaub mov muaj kev nyab xeeb, ntsuab thiab zaub mov zoo.
Lub hydroxyl lwg me me hauv cov zaub mov-qib hydrogen peroxide thiab nws cov khoom siv tau ncaj qha tuaj yeem ua tus txheej txheem txheej sab nraud ntawm cov kab mob, rhuav tshem permeability qhov teeb meem ntawm cov kab mob, thiab rhuav tshem cov khoom sib npaug ntawm sab hauv thiab sab nraud cov kab mob thiab ua rau tuag taus. Dawb hydroxyl lwg me me ntawm hydrogen peroxide tuaj yeem cuam tshuam ncaj qha nrog cov protein thiab nucleic acids ntawm cov kab mob me me, ua rau lawv cov qauv puas tsuaj thiab ua rau tuag.
Cov kev tshawb fawb kuj pom tau tias cov khoom cais tawm ntawm hydrogen peroxide tuaj yeem tiv thaiv cov kab mob enzyme thiab muaj kev cuam tshuam nrog cov amino acids hauv cov enzyme protein saw.
