    The IF2 initiation factor is a crucial component in the process of protein synthesis. The largest among the three indispensable translation initiation factors is IF-2, which possesses a molecular mass of 97 kDa. [17] [18] The protein has many domains, including an N-terminal domain, a GTPase domain, a linker region, C1, C2, and C-terminal domains.

    The factors are used to assist and promote colonization of the host. These factors include adhesins, invasins, and antiphagocytic factors. Bacterial flagella that give motility are included in these virulence factors. [5] The factors, including toxins, hemolysins and proteases, bring damage to the host.

  9. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    In biology, most biochemical processes strive to maintain equilibrium (homeostasis), a steady state that exists more as an ideal and less as an achievable condition. Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism's present condition is a state of constant flux moving about a homeostatic point ...
