How does it differentiate?
I admit, I only read the quoted parts of the paper(s?) but from what it sounds like, this could have an adverse effect on the person taking this drug as well as the virus. It seems like the [Fe2L3]4+ just bonds to DNA, not allowing it to do anything from that point. How can it differentiate between viral DNA and normal human DNA? If someone takes this, will it kill their own cells as easily as virus cells?
