Antibiotic is such a chemical which can kill the bacteria viruses or microorganisms. And sometimes, antibacteria prevent the growth of microorganisms to cure any disease. One of the antibiotic is Sulfonylamide which is highly used to prevent the bacterial disease. Sulfonylamide mimics the para-amino benzoic acid and bacteria synthesize folic acid for their growth and reproduction system. But they need para-amino benzoic acid to correlate with the enzyme to synthesize folic acid. But Sulfonylamide is almost a copy of para-amino benzoic acid that can confuse the enzyme and bind with the enzyme. So, after binding with the Sulfonylamide, the enzyme cannot produce the folic acid. Hence, the bacteria cannot survive without folic acid and cannot reproduce itself. As humans, we do not synthesize folic acid in our body cells. Hence, Sulfonylamide does not interrupt our any kind of organism systems. We eat a different kind of force such as different kinds of vegetables which contain high amount of folic acid for our body. So, the mimics of para-amino benzoic acid by Sulfonylamide confuse the enzyme of bacteria to prevent the production of folic acid. Thus, it is a great function to prevent the cure of bacteria.

Antibiotics are chemicals that can kill bacteria, viruses, or microorganisms. Sometimes, antibiotics prevent the growth of microorganisms to cure diseases. One of the antibiotics is Sulfonylamide, which is widely used to prevent bacterial diseases. Sulfonylamide mimics para-amino benzoic acid, which bacteria synthesize folic acid for their growth and reproduction. However, they need para-amino benzoic acid to interact with the enzyme to synthesize folic acid. Sulfonylamide is almost a copy of para-amino benzoic acid, which can confuse the enzyme and bind with it. After binding with Sulfonylamide, the enzyme cannot produce folic acid. Hence, the bacteria cannot survive without folic acid and cannot reproduce. As humans, we do not synthesize folic acid in our body cells. Therefore, Sulfonylamide does not disrupt any of our organism systems. We consume various foods, such as different kinds of vegetables, which contain high amounts of folic acid for our bodies. Thus, the mimicry of para-amino benzoic acid by Sulfonylamide confuses the enzyme of bacteria, preventing the production of folic acid. This is a significant function in combating bacterial infections.
