Pharmacology
Isopropyl Alcohol is an isomer of propyl alcohol and has antibacterial properties. Nobody knows exactly how isopropanol disinfects, but it might kill cells by denaturing their proteins and DNA, interfering with cellular metabolism, and dissolving the lipo-protein membranes of the cell. It is used as an antiseptic in soaps and lotions. A 70 % isopropyl alcohol solution kills microorganisms by dissolving the plasma membrane of the cell wall.
