The Functional Group section sounds like pure BS to me... If someone truly wants to explain how the functional groups assist in MIT's antibacterial properties, they should put up a more exact mechanism, for example "MIT forms a thioester bond with protein X at position Y, and disables it, killing the bacteria". This, just like the current section, is pure speculation, but at least it's more detailed, rather than the hand-wavey version up now. I would really like to just erase the whole section, but that would likely be reverted by a RC patroller. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.228.48 (talk • contribs) --Leyo 09:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
