Friday I got a call from my boyfriend, and he said he was in the hospital for stepping on a rusty nail sticking out of a board at work. It's known that stepping on a rusty nail can cause massive infections if the individual has not had or gets a tetanus shot and does not recieve antibiotics. Proteins allow cells to detect and react to hormones and toxins in their surroundings, and as the chief ingredient in antibodies, which help us resist infection, they play a part in protecting our bodies against foreign invaders; by promoting growth and repairing bone, muscles, tissues, blood, and organs. Without protein synthesis, and the repair of these vital components of his body, he would not be able to defeat any foreign bacteria that could lead to infection!
