CS is thought to act by inactivating an enzyme that is resposible for
cellular respiration. A protein strand does not have enzymes and does
not respire. It does not have any of the structures of a "cell", such as
a nucleus, a cell membrane or cell wall, a cytoplasm, DNA, RNA etc.

It is outside of common knowledge because the information is relatively
new. Science is often slow and plodding about releasing information as
"known" to the public. And the public is often slow to pick it up, who
reads science journals, not the everday person generally.

Then there are things like slow viruses that infect your body but do not
act for 20 or more years. Science does not know it all, they have
theories, but proof is harder to come by and due to the Hesinberg
Uncertainty Principle, even that proof is called into doubt and rightly
so. You change an event by observing it, indeed by your very thoughts.
