So in this chapter, um, Javor uses the example of an E. coli cell that's been killed by a solvent.
And of course, it still has all its proteins, nucleic acids, but it is now dead.
So this is a very, very important area to understand when we're looking at the problem of, of biogenesis or non-living cells forming a living organism.
So the example that, uh, Dr. Javor uses is that, and he had done a lot of research, uh, in the area of E. coli.
Now, once you damage the outer membrane, uh, which is where it's getting its food source and this sort of thing, this sets up a, a chain of reactions that actually stop reactions.
