| Mar 13, 2021 at 3:32 | comment | added | lila | Oh you are welcome ^.^ I included the information as you allowed me, I marked it as quotation but it is just to make it clearly separate from the answer's original content because the new information contradicts some statements in the original answer, and if I didn't mark it as quotation then it would look incoherent. If you want to modify it later and integrate this information so that it seamlessly flows and agrees with the rest of your answer, then you can remove the quotation marks for easier reading ^.^ the information is not the exact copy of comments, I improved it a little. | |

I was allowed by the original post author to include the new information from comments myself.

It is interesting (but sounds logic ^^) that proteins are recognizable by the immune system themself. I am short of time in the moment, and hooe to remember it later. If you have more time you can feel free to edit my answer and add your infirmations. You can also write, that it is information collected by lila :D | |
| Mar 11, 2021 at 3:28 | comment | added | lila | Proteins are gigantic molecules, for example the chemical formula of botulinum toxin is C₆₇₆₀H₁₀₄₄₇N₁₇₄₃O₂₀₁₀S₃₂; such huge molecules don't really act like small molecules anymore, but more like complex, nano-scale machines. They aren't actual living organisms like bacteria, but they are so large and complex that our immune system is still able to uniquely recognize them and respond to them as well. If we devastate these "machines" by messing up their delicate structure, then they aren't able to harm us anymore - but they are still recognized by our immune system. | |
