Cisplatin [ENDORSED]

Re: Cisplatin [ENDORSED]
it's a form or chemotherapy to stop the growth of cancer cells, unfortunately it also impacts the healthy cells from multiplying. It usually impacts healthy cells that multiply quickly, such as hair and blood cells.

Re: Cisplatin
It is used to stop cell division for cancer treatment, but it also stops healthy cell division.
Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin can stop the division of cancer cells, however, it doesn't target cancer cells specifically, so it can potentially stop the division of normal, healthy cells.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin stops the growth of cancer cells, but not exclusively, so it would also stop the growth of healthy cells.
Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin aims to stop cell division. However, it will affect cancer cells and healthy cells.

Re: Cisplatin
It is a type of chemotherapy which stops cell division in an attempt to keep the cancerous cells from spreading. Unfortunately it also affects normal healthy cells' ability to multiply.

Re: Cisplatin
It has two Cl's that bond with guanines in the DNA of fast-growing cells (both harmful and healthy), preventing them from replicating. This stops the cell division of both cancerous and healthy cells.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin will bond to two nearby Guanine molecules on the DNA and prevent the DNA from being able to "unzip" for DNA replication. Thus without DNA replication a cell cannot divide will eventually die.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is used in chemotherapy to stop the growth of cancer cells. In the process, it damages DNA and prevents DNA synthesis, which in turn damage the healthy cells.
Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin also does this by replacing something in the guanine molecule with a water molecule so that DNA synthesis cannot occur

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug, and it binds to the nucleotides on DNA to stop cell growth; however, in doing so, it stops the production of normal cells.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is important because it stops cell division by attaching to DNA and most importantly Guanine.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is able to attach to DNA and stop cell division, which is why it is used in treating cancer

Re: Cisplatin
It is more effective than transplatin because it binds twice instead of once making it more effective.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is the biologically active one whereas trans is not due to the better job cis does from bonding at tow G on DNA rather than 1.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is a helpful chemotherapy drug because it stops rapid cell division. However, it has recently stopped being used as frequently because of its inability to target malignant cells, meaning that rapidly dividing healthy cells (such as hair follicles) are also affected.
Re: Cisplatin
he just said that it affects normal healthy cells and either damages them or stops the replication fo them.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin is a molecule that binds to the reactive center of atoms and can damage the DNA inside of the atom, which causes cell division to stop and causes the cell to die.

Re: Cisplatin
Cisplatin does the same thing it does to unhealthy cells, but to healthy cells. It just happens less often, but it's a nasty drug since in does not differentiate between healthy and unhealthy cells, making the person more sick.
