Yang Ping carefully analyzed the structure of the K Factor, then compared it with the nutrient solution used to cultivate the tumor at the time. Using a structural comparison analysis method, he initially speculated that the possibility of the K Factor being generated by a chemical reaction between the components of the nutrient solution was very small.
Based on the most basic atomic conservation in chemical reactions, although there is some overlap between the atoms of the K Factor and those of the nutrient solution, many basic structures and groups have little overlap with the nutrients, making significant chemical conversion unlikely.
Yang Ping also theoretically speculated on several other possible causes, all of which seemed improbable. Ultimately, he inclined towards the belief that the K Factor was produced by the tumor cells themselves.
