Yes, antibodies are Y-shaped proteins produced by the immune system in response to pathogens. They can attach to specific antigens on pathogens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells.

What attaches a protein to catalyze a metabolic reaction?

A cofactor or coenzyme can attach to a protein to help catalyze a metabolic reaction by facilitating the reaction or acting as a carrier of chemical groups. These molecules can be inorganic ions, organic molecules, or other proteins that work together with the protein to enable the reaction to occur.


To what do antibodies respond?

Antibodies are secreted by a special group of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Each type of cell (including bacteria) has a unique protein on its cell membrane - an antigen. If a lymphocyte does not recognise a particular antigen, it will assume that the cell (or bacterium) is foreign and hostile. This is what antibodies respond to - the stimulus as the result of an unfamiliar cell. The antibodies attach to the antigens and kill the cell, or bacterium.
