(A) is an irreversible inhibitor of serine proteases such as acetylcholine esterase.
(B) competes very effectively with oxygen for binding to the sixth coordination position of Fe2+ inheme.
(C) causes oxidative DNA damage.
(D) is a small nonpolar molecule and therefore acts like a detergent and rips open cell membranes.
(E) carbamylates free amino groups in a variety of proteins and enzymes, thus disrupting normalhydrogen bonding.
