An E coli strain has a length of 2 micrometer under normal conditions. A drug molecule of average size spends an average of 1 microsecond between jumps, and it travels a distance of 20 nanometers at every jump. Calculate diffusion coefficient and estimate the time it will take to reach the center of the coll, if the main mode of transport for this drug is diffusion? Antibiotic molecule starts diffusion from the cell membrane Hint antibiotics move in three dimensions in bacteria Diffusion coefficient is uome (The numerical tolerance is +/-1%) (msec: millisecond, um micrometer) The time required for the drug molecule to reach the center of the cell is msec (The numerical tolerance is +-1%)
