Questions and Answers

What is the main problem that the rule of penetration aims to address?

  • Identifying chemical features for bacterial penetration
  • Developing broad-spectrum antibiotics
  • Overcoming the barrier of Gram-negative bacterial envelope (correct)
  • Establishing a rule for human cell penetration

What is the objective of identifying the chemical features of compounds that enable penetration across Gram-negative bacterial cells?

  • To identify the limitations of Hagen Rother's rule
  • To establish a comprehensive rule governing the penetration of bacterial cells (correct)
  • To compare bacterial penetration with human cell penetration
  • To develop a new antibiotic

What is the limitation of Hagen Rother's rule for bacterial penetration?

  • It is not effective for certain chemical structures
  • It is not applicable to Gram-positive bacteria
  • It is applicable to all chemical structures
  • It is specific to a particular scaffold (correct)
