CSPD (molecule)
CSPD ([3-(1-chloro-3'-methoxyspiro[adamantane-4,4'-dioxetane]-3'-yl)phenyl] dihydrogen phosphate) is a chemical substance with formula C18H22ClO7P. It is a component of enhanced chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, used for the detection of minute amounts of various substances such as proteins. Properties The molecule CSPD has the following functional groups in the structure: phosphate group, phenyl group, spiro group, methyl ether group, and chlorine group. The ones worth noting are the ones above. None of these groups carry a charge. If there was a charge this would have had a change in the compound's pH, 3D structure, mass and bond angles. The toxin CSPD effect persister cell formation using MqsR (MqsR, a crucial regulator for quorum sensing and biofilm formation, is a GCU-specific mRNA interferase in ''Escherichia coli'') and persister cells are cells that avoid stress and are characterized by reduced metabolism and other factors.

Chemical Substance
A chemical substance is a form of matter having constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. Some references add that chemical substance cannot be separated into its constituent elements by physical separation methods, i.e., without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be simple substances (substances consisting of a single chemical element), chemical compounds, or alloys. Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar (sucrose). However, in practice, no substance is entirely pure, and chemical purity is specified according to the intended use of the chemical. Chemical substances exist as solids, liquids, ...
