摘要: Bioregulators or modulators are biochemical compounds such as peptides, that occur naturally in organisms. Advances biotechnology create the potential for misuse of peptide bioregulators offensive biological weapons programmes. a new class can damage nervous system, alter mood, trigger psychological changes and kill. Over last twenty years, neuroscience has produced an explosion knowledge about receptor systems nerve cells critical importance receiving chemical transmitter substances released by other cells. closely related to normally found body regulates normal processes. The military terrorist use is similar toxins. Together with increased research into toxins, have also been studied synthesized. This paper presents review could be used hostile activities.
