Question

Which proteins recognize and combine with harmful materials, including both toxic chemicals and invasive microorganisms?

Answer 1

antibodies

Antibodies  These proteins recognize and combine with harmful materials, including both toxic chemicals and invasive microorganisms  such as bacteria and viruses . When an antibody binds to its target, it is tagged for destruction. This tag is recognized by white blood cells, which complete the process. Some antibodies also partially or completely deactivate their targets while waiting for further help from white blood cells.
